When you hear of a man
being ruined by getting married, ask for names and dates. The name will
usually settle it. Along the front of the lake at Chicago is a
breakwater. In hot weather this pier is nearly covered with men of
leisure, taking midsummer-night dreams. They are the so-called
"harvesters" who start out in droves into the country after something
to do--"forced to search for work and not find it!" Marriage has not
ruined them. You will find that the men your adviser shows you who has
been ruined by marriage, was a born wharf-rat, fit only to be shot with
a gun big enough to save the expense of any further funeral.
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE CHANCE
of a man being worse off married than single. As a married man, he is on
the right path. As a single man, there is no anchor for him. He may be
here to-day, in San Francisco next week. Then, in two or three years, he
will be back, as poor as ever. You will have to work, of course. But you
have never before done your share of the work. If you are a smart man,
you can do your share and more too. You will have a home of your own.
