No matter how well you are doing, you can do a little better. Accomplished efforts are like elastic bands. There's usually a little more stretch left. No matter how big an und ing you have completed, you can go a little bit farther and make it Bigger. We hate to fall short in any duty we perform as it reflects unfaverably on our ability, and vice versa, a task completed in a satisfactory manner adds credit to our standing. 5 1 . Should we stop thers ? No! Consider no effort as brought to a pes fect finish. Find room and ways to make it bigger and better. That what puts peopis and Industries headsand shoulders above their sur- roundings and competitors. The Ashland Cotton Company establishes a certain goal to reach. Sometimes this goal seems exceedingly difficult of attainment but shoulder to shoulder the management and employees strive to'reach it. As scon as it is reached, the goal is placed a little farther off, and then later, still farther. Their customers -’. satisfied with the Ashland Cotton C . ompany but the company le never eatisfied with itself. Their aim is to do a little bit better. . r This metiod used on their-weekly production in 1921 has resulted as follows :—February, 1500 pisces of cloth; March, 1700; April, 1800; June, 2000; July, 2100; August, 2200; September, 2300; October, 2350; November, 2400. The goal set for December is 2500 pieces. They will get it. You cai figure for yourself how such production reduces overhead. One year ago, such figures seemed impossible, but they “Stretched the ‘Elastic Band.” No stretohing of one's imagination is required to show that s m operated on. this plm_ is a pretty safe investment. | BARSTOW, HILL & COMPANY 68 Devonshire Street, Boston, Mass, 3 —_—_— Detail “Information Coupon.

The close was unsettled, 1-8¢ to.1 1-4 net lower, with May 1.10 7-8 to 1.11 and July 1.01 1-2 to 1.01 5-8. Corn lost 1-4 to 5-8, and oats a shade to 1-8 a 1-4. In provisions, the outcome varied from unchanged figures to 15 cents off. H « Selling on the part of elevator inte- rests quicdkly overcae a slight degree of firmness which the wheat market at the beginning showed in response to higher quotations at Liverpool. The presence of ample immediate suppMes counted in fav- or of the bears, and with a new govern- ment report soon forthcoming all prewi- ous calculations based on estimates of the domestic yield and on the amount of wheat shipped abroad and consumed at home were largely ignored. Dry weather complaints from the west and southwest led at times to consider- abla covering by shorts, but the ra'lies which ensued were mainly of a transient character. Som‘hemort— business was announced but the bulk of purchasing for Europe continued to be restricted to wheat grown In Canada. Predictions: that receipts at Winnipeg would show a falling off next week appeared to have but little influence on values here: Cornsand oats were weakened by the slowness of domestic call for corn. Ex- porters were after corn here, however, and rural offerings of corn to arrive were lght. ! MARKET l Provisions, although dull, held fairly steady owing to strength in the hog market. 4 ¥ .
