ANOTHER　BEGINNING



The　Big　Business　of　Life　Turning　work　Into　Play

By　Ralph　Parlette

This　book　proves　that　the　real　big　business　is　that　of　getting　our　happiness　now　in　our　work；　and　not　tomorrow　for　our　work。

Judge　Ben　B。　Lindsey；　the　kids'　Judge；　says：　〃It　is　a　great　big　boost　for　everybody　who　will　read　it。　People　ought　to　buy　them　by　the　gross　and　send　them　to　their　friends。〃

Dr。　J。　G。　Crabbe；　President　of　the　State　Teachers　College；　Greeley；　Colo。；　says：　〃The　Big　Business　of　Life　is　a　real　joy　to　read。　It　is　big　and　ought　to　be　read　today　and　tomorrow　and　forevermore　every　where。　It　is　truly　‘A　Book　of　Rejoicing'。〃

The　Augsberg　Teacher；　a　Magazine　for　Teachers；　says：　〃In　The　Big　Business　of　Life　we　have　the　practical　philosophy　that　it　is　everyone's　business　to　abolish　work　and　turn　this　world　into　a　playground。　Who　will　not　confess　that　many　mortals　take　their　work　too　seriously；　and　that　to　them　it　is　a　joyless；　cheerless　thing？　To　be　able　to　find　happiness；　and　to　find　it　when　we　are　bending　to　our　duties　is　to　possess　the　secret　of　living　to　the　full。　And　happiness　is　to　be　sought　within；　and　not　among　the　things　that　lie　at　our　feet。　The　book　before　us　is　wholesome　and　vivacious。　It　provokes　many　a　smile；　and　beneath　each　one　is　a　bit　of　wisdom　it　would　do　us　a　world　of　good　to　learn。　It　recalls　the　saying　of　the　wise　man　‘A　merry　heart　doeth　good　like　a　medicine'。〃


Many　who　have　read　The　Big　Business　of　Life　write　us　that　they　think　it　is　even　better　than　〃The　University　of　Hard　Knocks；〃　which；　they　add；　is　mighty　hard　to　beat。



It's　Up　To　You！　Are　You　Shaking　Up　or　Rattling　Down？

Go　On　South！　The　Best　is　Yet　to　Come

The　Salvation　of　a　Sucker　You　Can't　Get　Something　for　Nothing


These　booklets　by　Ralph　Parlette　are　short　stories　adapted　from　chapters　in　〃The　University　of　Hard　Knocks。〃


John　C。　Carroll；　President　of　the　Hyde　Park　State　Bank　of　Chicago；　bought　1000　copies　of　the　booklet　〃It's　Up　to　You！〃　and　of　it　he　says。　〃Parlette's　Beans　and　Nuts　is　just　as　good　as　the　Message　to　Garcia　and　will　be　handed　around　just　us　much。　I　have　handed　the　book　to　business　men；　to　young　fellows；　bond　salesmen　and　such；　to　our　own　vice　president；　and　they　all　want　another　copy　to　send　to　some　friend。　I　would　rather　be　author　of　it　than　president　of　the　bank。〃


Employers　in　every　line　of　business　are　buying　quantities　of　〃It's　Up　to　You！〃　for　their　workers。


William　Jennings　Bryan　says　of　the　booklet　〃Go　On　South〃：　〃It　is　one　of　the　great　stories　of　the　day。〃


Charles　Grilk　of　Davenport；　says：　〃My　two　children　and　I　read　the　Mississippi　River　story　together　and　we　were　thoroly　delighted。〃


Instruct　us　to　send　one　of　these　booklets　to　your　friends。　It　will　delight　them　more　than　any　small　present　you　can　make。
