Habits
of
a
Man
of
Business.
A
sacred
regard
to
the
principles
of
justice
forms
the
basis
of
every
transaction,
and
regulates
the
conduct
of
the
upright
man
of
business.
The
following
statements
afford
a
bird's-eye
view,
as
it
were,
of
his
habits,
practice,
and
mode
of
procedure:
i.
He
is
strict
in
keeping
his
engagements.
ii.
He
does
nothing
carelessly
or
in
a
hurry.
iii.
He
employs
nobody
to
do
what
he
can
easily
do
himself.
iv.
He
keeps
everything
in
its
proper
place.
v.
He
leaves
nothing
undone
that
ought
to
be
done,
and
which
circumstances
permit
him
to
do.
vi.
He
keeps
his
designs
and
business
from
the
view
of
others.
vii.
He
is
prompt
and
decisive
with
his
customers,
and
does
not
over-trade
his
capital.
viii.
He
prefers
short
credits
to
long
ones;
and
cash
to
credit
at
all
times,
either
in
buying
or
selling;
and
small
profits
in
credit
cases
with
little
risk,
to
the
chance
of
better
gains
with
more
hazard.
ix.
He
is
clear
and
explicit
in
all
his
bargains.
x.
He
leaves
nothing
of
consequence
to
memory
which
he
can
and
ought
to
commit
to
writing.
xi.
He
keeps
copies
of
all
his
important
letters
which
he
sends
away,
and
has
every
letter,
invoice,
&c.,
belonging
to
his
business,
titled,
classed,
and
put
away.
xii.
He
never
suffers
his
desk
to
be
confused
by
many
papers
lying
upon
it.
xiii.
He
is
always
at
the
head
of
his
business,
well
knowing
that
if
he
leaves
it,
it
will
leave
him.
