Vf nude up his mind that he would

Miss Kitty Cat would appear to see

Aalismanic gem, the beryl, according

Saxo. in 1220, declared that it could

The natal stone for today is tne

most successfully when the wearer
is in good health. An old legend
asserts that it ensures its wearer of
freedom from small cares and wor

Good Will: A Negotiable Asset
By Roger William Riis, in tha Xmcrican Legion Weekly
They tell a story about n man who went to 'the late J. V.
Morjran to borrow some money. Moriron, in the press of business,
could spare only a few minutes, and he took up those minutes in
walking with his visitor along Wall street, tho bhort block from
Broadway to Broad street. As they were parting, the man said:
"Now, Mr. Morgan, about that money"
"You've got it," interrupted the banker.
The other's face showed his surprise and bewilderment.
"You've got it," repeated Morgan. "A hundred people saw yon
walking down the street with mo just now. Your credit is good
on Wall street. You can borrow the money anywhere you go."
A little exaggerated, perhaps, but it hammers home the point.
Mr. Morgan had good will to burn. He had so much that it was
potent enough to carry over and bless even the man lucky enough
to have been seen talking with the great banker.
s Good will is a curious thing. It's like the sparkle in cham
pagne intangible, not one of the originally mixed elements, yet
so essential that without it a man's best efforts are pretty flat and
profitless. Unlike the bubble in champagne, though, good will is
a measurable and very real thing. It's not a mere group of words.
Look it up in the encyclopedia. Perhaps to your surprise you will
find it there, and, down at the end of tho paragraph about it, you
will discover that is a sufficiently real . property to bo subject
to tax.
For good will is property, the same as your overcoat or your
pipe are property.
And it is not merely a business term. It applies to each and
every one of us, whether we are shopkeepers, philosophers or
tennis players. It applies to us as human beings in our relations
with the human beings around us. It's got something of the nature
Of the grease that is put on the ways when a ship is launched ,
with it the launching would be a grisly failure. And without good
will any project that you want to launch or any relations you have
with other people will be the same kind of failure. It's a uni
versal requisite.
As a matter of strict accuracy, a man can't even persuade a
girl to take up the business of life under his roof unless-she har
bors a fair amount of good will toward him.
Recently in the papers there was an illustration of good will
working overtime. A gentleman named Fred returned to his na
tive town in the west under what would have been for most of us
rather dangerous circumstances. He had been away for several
years; indeed, he had left town when his bank had failed and when
its statements showed a shortage of $800,000. His return, one
would think, should have been the signal for tying a knot in the
nearest rope and knocking the head off the municipal tar barrel.
Not so. He was met and escorted through the streets by a
shouting mob of loving citizens, chanting proudly, "Fred is back!
Fred is back !" Everyone within ten miles knew at once who Fred
was, and came to join the jubilee. He was serenaded to the court
house, where the only difficulty about getting bail for him lay in
picking the particular one of the -eager hundreds who demanded
the privilege of being bailor.
Perhaps from these two instances one can extract something
that will be of value to the rest of us. Both instances happen to
be taken from the business world, but the truth in them has uni
versal application.
Why was Mr. Morgan's good will so great that his friends could
trade on it?- Because he was rich? Not at alL Silas Marner was
rich, comparatively, but his friends were counted on the fingers
of a crippled man's crippled hand. Loui3 XVI was rich, but gentle
men in peasants' garb took him to the scaffold and removed His
head. That's not good will. ' . , --, .'
Because he was powerful? Mr. Volstead seems to wield a fair
amount of power, but you don't hear so many people singing their
good will to him. Hindenburg, if Mr. Volstead will pardon the
connection,-was strong enough. As a matter of fact, power in it
self is more often a cause of distrust and dread than of this
other quality. .
Because he had succeeded? Partly, but not alone that.
Is it not because Mr. Morgan had so wrought that peonle ad
mired him. ha4 confidence in his integrity, and TRUSTED HIS
WORD? He was able to tell his visitor 'that money could be bor
rowed on the strength of that walk of a few yards because he knew
that people in general appreciated his reliability and soundness.
He was solid. You could, in more than one way, bank on him. He
might have been rich, he might have been'powerful he might have
been pre-eminently successful, but he might have achieved all that
by such methods that no one would have dealt with him under any
circumstances. . - "" .
The same things stand out in Fred's case. Fred's bank had
got into trouble because he had been too ready to loan money to
good causes. In his excess of open-heartedness and readiness to .
help those who needed it, he had overplayed his hand. Yet when
he came back people knew that he was honest and that he wanted
to help. They like him. They trusted him.
Those whose business it is to make accurate definitions for
the dictionaries say that good will is a favor or advantage acquired
through personality, reputation for skill and promptitude. Person
ality comes first. Just this morning a woman said to me, talking
of a mutual acquaintance who is starting out as a doctor, "Ed will
get many patients because everyone likes him and trusts him so."
Meaning that he enjoyed plenty of good will. She put her
finger on the right element. A bond salesman tells me that three
quarters of his business is done through friendship or acquaint
anceship that is good will. Without exaggeration, I believe that
good will is the first essential of successful living. For consider:
It is an asset that no thief can steal from you. He can steal
your money, your goods, your job perhaps, but he can't deprive
you of good will.
It is an asset that neither fire, flood, sudden death nor rats
can destroy. Instead, if the rest of your possessions go up in
flames or down inwater, good will will remain and will do more
toward re-establishfng you than any other element.
It will make you when you have it, and it will ruin you if your
competitor has it and you haven't it, whether your competitor is
the other preacher in the neighboring church, a rival suitor or a
fifth man around a bridge table. If you are an object of ill-will,
the other man will get your job. -
We all must have it. How do we get it? ,
Some twenty or more centuries ago a man made a remark
that comes closer to the bull's-eye than any subsequent attempt. He
was passing the time in meditation and soliloquy, and he asked
himself what kind of men were the lucky ones. He answered, "He
who giveth his word, and disappointeth not, even though it were
to his own hurt." -
All the orators in all creation can talk till their lips are blue,
but they can't say more than that For you will discover by pon
dering over it that those words mean not merely the prompt pay
ment of an I. O. U., but a lasting and continuous honesty and re
liability. Go over your own friends and pick out those whom you
trust most completely; isn't it true that they are reliable ALL the
time, whether it's a matter of a thousand-dollar bill or of a postage
stamp when your back is turned?
The world wants the man whom it trusts because the world
likes honesty. Men are naturally honest, and they react to that
quality in others. Fortunately, it is not necessary to make every
transacation on a cash basis. Trust is the order of the day. The
clearing houses of the country handle annually over $400,000,
000,000, all of it represented in paper and made good by men's
