  • THE A series of curves where the road skirts the mountainside is followed by a seemingly clear stretch, urging the driver on. But this straight section is very treacherous, as it is much rougher than it appears to be. If we were asked to name the greatest dividend producer year in, year out, we would unhesitatingly place good nature at the head of the list. Good natured people get things done, and it is only deeds accomplished that ever pay. Even though we must never forget that the foundation laid by intelligent thought gets the machinery going, it is good nature that keeps it oiled. —The Ruler. *#■ Nantahala is* J. P.

"I'm not pensive," she replied. "But you haven't said a word for 20 minutes." "Well, I didn't have anything to say." "Don't you ever say anything when you have nothing to say?" "No." "Well, then, will you be my wife?" BARK .'».*^^>A Stanley H. Lewis We are pleased to add to our growing circle of Old Timers Mr. Stanley H. Lewis, of the Ritter Lumber Company, Ltd. Mr. Lewis, who is shown above, recently completed ten years of . service and in recognition received a blue enameled pin. He began as a clerk at Bootle September 1, 1919, was invoice and claim clerk there and at Liverpool, also treasurer's delivery clerk and in July, 1924 went to Beaver, W. Va. as a sales student. He was successively at McClure and Maben, where he held all sorts of jobs, especially on the yards, and returned to Europe in May, 1925, going to Glasgow as a Ritter salesman, where he remained until April, 1927. In June, 1927 he came to the London office and since then has been a flooring salesman. We are glad to welcome Mr. Lewis into the Old Timers Club. Recently he wrote the Columbus office: "As I am proud of my association with Ritter's, I am most anxious to become a member of that very select and faithful band, the Old Timers, and am losing no time in applying for membership." Alfred Ahrens, German student, who has been at McClure for a year and a half, stopped off at Columbus en route to Germany recently. He will become a Ritter sales representative abroad. A jolly group of Columbus office employees held a picnic at Crystal Springs, ten miles South of Lancaster, Ohio, September twenty-first. Climbing hills and horseshoe pitching were in order for the afternoon, and in the evening a very fine supper was enjoyed by the group in the shelter house where a large open grate fire had been prepared. Only two succeeded in getting through "Fat Man's Squeeze," a crevice in the rocky cliff. THREE NEW SALESMEN Three new sales representatives have come within our midst during the past several weeks. They are J. H. Barclay, Grand Rapids territory; R. O. Young, western Pennsylvania, western New York, eastern Ohio, and W. H. Mathias, Chicago territory. We welcome all of these gentlemen into our company. Friends of Miss Nelle Brumelle, a former employee of the Columbus office will be glad to learn that she has secured a splendid position as teacher in a normal school at Potsdam, N. Y. After leaving the Company. Miss Brumelle finished her course at Ohio State University, took her degree and is now a full fledged high school teacher. The famous Hollywood diet has its devotees in the Columbus office, judging from the willowy appearance of some of the dieters. At least four of the ladies have reported success to the tune of a dozen pounds 'loss in a few weeks' time. WELL FIXED "How many dogs have you?" asked a stranger in the Rumpus Ridge region. "I hain't got no dogs at all," responded Gap Johnson. "That is strange. The store keeper down at the crossroads told me you had the finest bunch of dogs anywhere around here." "Aw, you're a tourist, hain't you? I 'lowed you mought be the—p'tu!— assessor. Well the store keeper is mighty right about it. I've got 19 grown up ones and about 47 young ones, in all." —The Kansas City Star. AT COLLEGE The young man had just driven home from college at the close of the term. "Did you pass everything?" asked his mother, anxiously. "Everything but two Studebakers and a Pierce-Arrow. Darned if they musn't have had airplane motors in them!" Sixteen
