Canada is. made 'up of a 'group of

and our responsibilities,
We are continually being toad that
business is not as good a' it might be,-
that a great deal of unemploymenth'�nt

malting the most of conditions as they

" It is an axiom among sales man-
agers that the only successful sales
man is the one who is completely sold
on the line`; he is handling. In other
words, who has implicit confidence in
the value and merits of the goods he
is selling., With _this, confidence be
can oinspire confidence in others, to the
mutual advantage of both.
Are -we as Canadians - completely
sold an the advantages of Canada us
a home; dowe appreciate the fact
that- Canada in the fifty-eight years
since Confederation has tripled,. her
population, eiotwitl stancii'rg that the
war and `post war years deducted ten
years from her period of growth. This
in itself is something to be proud of,
and is a record for growth.
In ' 1910• 'Canada's exports were
$298,763,998 and in 1924 -hey were
valued at $1,070,611,616.
In 1910 our agticultnral products
were worth $537,545;00(', and ' in' 1924
they' amounted to $1,444,574,0.00.
In 1910 our mjinufactur'ed products
were valued at $1,165,975689,, and in
1923. at -$2,696,210000.
These are but a few figures to show
eche' progress Canada' is making, and
we 'should be decidedly proud -of our
record.
One of the' greatest improvements`
of the automobile is the self-starter.
This device suggests the reflection
that many' f es • require. something of,
a like eatiire. We lack initiative, we
lack voluntary effort.- we need crank- ""
ing, in other words, we are waiting
for someone' to start us, someone to
give us instructions; to tellus what to
do,
Those who succeed best in life and
get the most out, of it are self-starters.
They do not wait to be told -or ad-
vised what to undertake, but do things
of their own accord. Let us develop
individual self-starters, and we will
become so keenly interested in our
work that we will find pleasure in it.
