The implication in the statement is\hat superiority will forge ahead to success by the sheer weight of merit. In the case of the able man there is involved the matter of properly adjusting the ability to the task; the ability must be “put over” in a definite way; in short the superior ability must be marketed, must be sold. It is just so with a business. There are in Casper today good merchants, with the right. goods and capable of superior service, but not enough peopie know them.
