MANY LITTLES
MAKE A MUCH
How would you like to ait
down at your desk, run over
your accounts, and absorb the
knowledge that anywhere from
one to five hundred people
were indebted to you in sums
varying from 50 cents to $5?
And how would you like to
meet those good people day by
day without their ever think
ing of offering you the small
amount due you?
And how would you like to
see these same good people
paying their other bills prompt
ly month by month and again
forgetting yours?
And wouldn’t you just revel
in the knowledge that all of
these small amounts combin
ed, if suddenly collected up,
would swell your bank account
to the tune of $500 or $1,000?
When you reach the point
where you can appreciate the
grim humor of such a condition
and keep right on smiling, you
will have qualified yourself
for the life of a country editor.
