TO the plumber, the bathroom is the most beautiful room in the
house. To him, pipes and joints and taps are more interesting than
Chippendales and Wedgwood.
Is your office, your desk, your work the most attractive and
interesting in the whole institution--to YOU? Whatever your situation
or task in the great H.B.C. organization, endeavor to find such beauty,
charm and satisfaction in the business of your own little "work-shop"
that the seduction of "greener fields" may not deceive you. The
greatest symptom of individual progress is a sincere love for _the work
in hand_; advancement follows naturally upon a faithful apprenticeship.
