FAIR DEALING After all, sincerity and a desire to be fair and decent bring thein own reward, even in this world. The av­ erage citizen would rather have the reputation of being honest in busi­ ness than to possess wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. The reputa­ tion of a .professional man, a manu- ( facturer, a merchant, a labourer should be one of his greatest and most prized possessions. Money vanishes away but the memory of a fair-dealing and faithful service are like flowers which bloom in the gardens of many hearts. To.o* often for temporary gain men do the mean and tricky things, then they wonder why former patrons pass by on the other side. This suggestion has. no personal application to any particu­ lar in divdual but early in the year we throw* it out for what It is worth.
