1 i-patch from Boston, Mas:-'.,
The Standard Oil Company,
voiding to the statement of
ilemanin close tonch with
t rporation. made au appro-
pi iv.iou for the construction of a
j..: ":r.e to connect the new In-
TeTritory and Kansas oil
'■ '- with the mammoth refinery
r Wip ing, Ind., a few miles from
. j;;o. The project involves
judge-
ment thinks wuile be w.irks. lie'
hustles while he waits, lie plans
while others jaivu. February
msy not develop much business,
but February can produce xesults.
] There may be changes that are
j necessary. There may be founda-
1 tions to be laid. There m.iy be
j difficulties to be surmounted. It
busi-
ness whether new things are to be
established, whether old plans are
to be overhauled and repaired.
What was it qualified the success
of last year? Not lack of euergy,
surely! Not lack of system! The
point was that some cog in the
business machine was defective.
Now is the time to fix it! Don't
stop the machine! That will etn-
barass the business. Study now
how to fix the defective cog.
Think how you can improve the
working capacity of the machine.
You may be wondering how to re-
duce the seemioglj excessive cost
of store management. Why not
study how to increase the earnings
as things are? The wise business
man wants the opinion of the man
who will double pr .-fiio by a fifty
percent, increase of cost. He also
wants to consider the r.u-th'xis of
the man who can cut the expenses
to make a better showing of piofits.
He wants to corabmc the two sys-
tems far the best advantage df his
store. Each system has its s';rcng
points, and each business man
needs to study how to adapt the
best ideas to his business. The
best way is to make the business
points of each adaptable to the
business in which you
ested.
BIG POSTAL RECEIPTS. (J
"The growth of business in Ii//
dian Territory is known no wber#*
so well as in the post office depart!
me.it," says Third Assistant PottV
ma Uer General Madden. By tb}J
offi-inl the writer was directed U
the money order branch of the dey
part'.nent, where a veteran officii;
siid: "The business pulse of thc>t
enmtry can be felt right here inr
this office retter than anywhere ill r
the land except Wall street; ai;d
we have been in closer touch with
the business people of the country
than are tbe Wall street speculat
ors.
"There are now in operation^
forty-three money order offices in
Indian Tetritory aiid tbe volume
of business which they areincreas
iugly doing indicates prcsperity of
a maivelous nature. We .are not
the only oues issuing laige numb-
ers of money orders tfhich are sent
throughout the country in pay-
ment of purchases made from .the
section in various parts of the
union. There is apparently more
business being done in Indian Ter-
ritory through the mouey order
system that in any other part of
the country where t'uere is no
greater population. Iu net this
money order business for the Ter-
ritory has been multiplied more
than seven times in the last ten
years; and I do not think that any
other country in the union shows
such such a rapid iucrease in busi-
ness development."
