STRIKE TWO-BALL THREE
Singles, doubles, triples and home runs fre-
quently occur with the count strike two and ball
three ... The thought which is involved is char-
acteristic of The American people and the sys-
tem of free enterprise sponsored here.
Success in business rarely ever occurs in the
forenoon but rather in the afternoon of life.
The first innings afford one an opportunity, to
acquire a bit of knowledge and in the latter
innings one can apply the knowledge acquired
to the problem at hand.
Service institutions, such as ours, are eager to
assist business, large or small, in its effort to
grow, for thus we score—together.
