What Kind of Fisherman Are You? 



Fable of the Two Fishermen. ' 



Once upon a liinc two men went a»t'i.shing. It was a fine da> and 

 the fishing was good. 



One of these men was \cr> much interested in V\ all Street news. 

 He kept Ihoroughj) posted on the prices of slocks and bonds while 

 w ailing ^for a bite. He read and shook his head and predicted the 

 countr\ was going to the demnition bow-wows. He was so bus\ 

 reading he neglected to bail his hook, and failed to change the water 

 in his bail can, so all his minnows died. Hejdidn"! catch an> fish. 



The other man tended slrictl\ to his lishing. He kept his hook 

 bailed and he frequently gave his minnows fresh water. He enjoyed 

 a fine da>'s sport and carried home a long siring of fish. 



Moral and Application. 



^ ou can neither catch fish without bait nor without lending to 

 to your fishing. Many lumbermen regulate their business by Wall 

 Street financial reports. W hen there is a flurry in the crooked alley 

 they don't try to do any busine.ss and lo.se sight of the facl^thal iheir 

 expense account is going on all the time. The manufacturer or mer- 

 chant who keeps his business up to the point of prosperity is the man 

 who governs his affairs by conditions in his own line of trade and 

 not b\ what is happening In the stock market. Right now is a time 

 when the wise lumhernian should keep his hook hailed and lend 

 strictly to the business of manufacturing and selling lumber. Wall 

 Street news is of no con.sequence to the wise lumberman. ^
