What Do You Owe Your Wife ? Do you remember the promises you made when you wooed the girl who is now your wife? Have you forgotten the scenes your fancy painted—that home of your own—a real yard for the kids—a maid to lighten the house- hold burdens — a tidy sum in the bank — a wonderful trip every summer? She has not forgotten. She still hopes that you will make true these dreams. She still has faith in you. You don’t want todisappoint your wife and make her life a burden, do you? You want to put the light of happiness in her eyes. You have jn you the power, the ability and surely the de- sire to make good your promises, and you can do it easily. If you could only realize howquickly success came to thousands of other husbands, how splendidly they made true the dreams of courtship days, then nothing in the. world could stop you from your success and happiness. After all is said and done, it is money and its right use that pro- motes contentment. Lack of money makes the cold reali- ties of present day life a bitter trial and constant worry. It makes young wives old before their time — it brings bitterness in to homes where happiness should rule. A BIG RAISE IN YOUR SALARY is possible for you. Go after it.
