bonds, the s o n g will make
young love and old love lilt
along to its melody.
On the reverse side of this
Bulebird disc, the Four Vaga­
bonds bring the first recording
of one of the top novelties of
the day, TEN LITTLE SOLD­
IERS. Reminiscent of a favor­
ite childhood ditty, “Ten Little
Indian Boys,” the rhythmic
tune is one that gets you whist­
ling and humming. TEN LIT­
TLE SOLDIERS tells the story
of that many soldiers, ten little
sailors, ten little marines....and

RECORD NEWS
The Four Vagabonds have
been hitting the high r o a d s
around Chicago for more than
a year, and are now right about
on top. Mid-westerners have
been hearing them over Chi­
cago radio stations for s o m e
time - - but since their recent
recording on Bluebird of “Rosie
the Riveter” and “I Had The
Craziest Dream,” their f a m e
has been leaping into high all
around the c o u n t r y . ROSE
ANN OF CHARING CROSS,
(Bluebird 30-0811) a Hit Par­
ade member, is their latest con­
tribution to the record world.

Is This the Secret of Success?
Recently an eminent insur­
ance executive gave a speech
in New York. His subject was
success. Men expected him to
say the usual things — h a r d
work, self-denial, self-improve­
ment are the ingredients.
He said nothing of the kind.
He told the truth about suc­
cess.
For he said, “The common
denominator of success— the
secret of success for every man
who has ever been successful—
lies in the fact that he formed
the habit of doing things that
failures don’t like to do.”
Think that over and you will
see that you have never read
in one, not-too-long sentence
more basic truth about a dis­
puted question than you find
here— “he formed the habit of

doing things that failures don’t
like to do.”
There are some parts of my
job I dislike so much I don’t do
them. They keep me from suc­
cess, I know. There are some
parts of your job you dislike
so heartily you don’t do them.
That’s all right just so long as
you and I recognize that we
h a n d i c a p ourselves toward
more success in so doing.
I have often told salesmen
that if they’d merely do every­
thing they ought to do every
day there’s no amount of suc­
cess they wouldn’t attain. “But
I know you won’t do these
things you ought to do,” I al­
ways tell them. “Only a few
men will. They are the men
who make the grade, the real­
ly successful men. The rest of
us have to be satisfied with less,
which is too bad, because the
more is there waiting for us.”
NELSON LICKS FACTORY
BOYS ON THE ALLEYS
“Biggest score in my life, but
I just had to make good”, said
Jack Nelson, after romping off
with high honors in Rock-Ola
Mfg. Corp. Bowling League.
Nelson’s score totaled 565,
with games of 191, 214 and
160 — an average of 188.
Recently, the Rock-Ola ad­
vertising department mailed to
the F a c t o r y Distributors a
photograph of Vice President
Jack Nelson, taken at the Bow­
ling Alley where Rock-Ola’s
100 man league meets every
Wednesday night. Most of the
Distributors tacked the picture
up on their bulletin 'board —
and Nelson began to gather a
reputation as a bowler, which
just had to be backed up with
some real action in the scoring
columns.

TEN REASONS
WHY WOMEN BUY
152 W. 42ND ST.
An intelligent and very able
and gracious woman of bus­
iness, Betty Farnsworth, says
that she recently came across
the reasons why women buy.
Since women buy 90 per cent
of the world’s goods and since
every one of us at one time or
another faces the necessity of
selling to women, it is neces­
sary that we know these rea­
sons. So I asked the lady to
outline them.
“There are ten,” said she.
“All right. Give me all ten.”
“First a woman buys some­
thing because it makes her look
thin.”
“I see.”
“Second, she buys it because
her husband says she c a n ’ t
have it.”
“I have suspected that.”
“Third, because it’s on sale.
Fourth, she buys because it’s
from Paris.”
“These reasons are getting
better,” I commented.

“Fifth r e a s o n is that her
neighbors can’t afford it.”
“How well I know that!”
“Seventh, because nobody
has one.”
“Right.”
“Eighth, she buys because
everybody has one.”
“Help!”
“Ninth, she buys because it’s
different, and the tenth is the
most important buying reason
of all,” she said.
“What is the tenth reason,
the most important reason?”
“Because.”
That left me without a word
to say.
