S3, leaving a gross profit of $10,132.16. This looks pretty good, but remember it was not clear profit, for there has to be deducted the selling expense, the cost of repcirs, taxes, insurance, tele phone, lights, postage and such other items as go to make up overhead in any business. The largest item was that of labor, and the total of all these items was $6,919.15, leaving the net income ;f.rom the business $3,213. j This was sufficient to allow a return of 6 per cent on the shares of stock in the concern and also 7 per cent on the amount of goods purchased and consumed by stockholders, which is in the nature of a refund. This is proof that the business was most ably conducted by Mr. Pollard, who i3 deserving of thanks for his close attention to business and with the same careful management it is prcbably many of the institutions that fail could be saved from such a :fate. Let us all make an honest en deavor this coming year to make our own business enterprises successful even though it does require a close application to business and perhaps a little less golf to do it. The time of hap-hazard success is past and he who would succeed in these times must be willing to give his earnest attention to that which he promotes. United Brethren in Christ.
