I AM—?
I am your best friend in time of need.
I can do for you what those who love you most are
powerless to do without my aid.
I am the oil that smooths the troubled waters of
life.
I straighten out difficulties and remove obstacles
that will yield to nothing else.
I am a supporter of faith, a spur to ambition, a
tonic to aspiration, an invaluable aid to people who are struggling to make
their dreams come true.
I give a man a fine sense of independence, a
feeling of security in regard to the future, which increases his strength and
ability and enables him to work with more vigor and spontaneity.
I am a stepping-stone to better things; a hope
builder; an enemy of discouragement, because I take away one of the greatest causes
of worry, anxiety, and fear.
I increase self-respect and self-confidence, and
give a feeling of comfort and assurance that nothing else can give.
I impart a consciousness of power that makes
multitudes, who otherwise would cringe and crawl, hold up their heads and carry
themselves with dignity.
I open the door to many opportunities for self-culture
and to social and business advancement.
I have enabled tens of thousands of young men, who
made sacrifices to get me, to take advantage of splendid opportunities which
those who did not have me were obliged to let go by.
I increase your importance in the world and your
power to do good.
I make people think well of your ability, increase
their confidence in you; give you standing, capital, an assured position,
influence, credit, and many of the good things of life that without me would be
unattainable.
I am a shock-absorber for the jolts of life, a
buffer between you and the rough knocks of the world.
The man or woman who doesn't make an honest,
determined effort to get me is lacking in one of the fundamental qualities that
make for the happiness, the prosperity and well-being of the whole race.
Millions of mothers and children have suffered all
sorts of hardships and humiliations because husbands and fathers lacked this
practical quality, which would have saved themselves and those dependent on
them so much suffering and misery.
Multitudes have spent their declining years in
homeless wretchedness, or eked out a miserable existence in humiliating
dependence on the grudging charity of relatives, while other multitudes have
died in the poorhouse, because they failed to make friends with me in their
youth.
I am one of the most reliable aids in the battle of
life, the struggle for independence; ever ready to help you in an
emergency—sickness in your family, accident or loss, a crisis in your
business—whatever it may be.
You can always rely on me to step into the breach
and do my work quietly, effectively, without bluster.
I AM . . . A LITTLE READY CASH
