TWO FEET FROM GOLD

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is undertaken by a temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

An uncle of Mr. Madan was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold rush days and went west to DIG AND GROW RICH. He had never heard that more gold has been mined from the brains of men that has ever been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work pick and shovel.
