The Chameleon VOLUME XVII MARCH, 1915 NUMBER 2 Nothing Stops Us WANT to congratulate our Sales organi zation on the excellent work they have done during February and March. When I recollect the strenuous and very success ful work that was done last year through our Forward Again Campaign and compare this year's figures with the Top-Notcher Records made at that time, I am delighted to see how close we have come to them. The Forward Again Campaign was a National Campaign, and all Districts and Divisions were united in a grand concentrated effort to defeat depression, and we-did it. This year each District, Division and De partment has been carrying on a campaign of its own. It has been less spectacular than the Forward Again move ment, but it has lacked nothing in energy, earnestness and determination. The boys themselves I know don't like any better than the Management to see red figures on their re ports. They hate to slip back. So accustomed have we all become in this organization to progress, that we refuse to be held back. When trade slackens our efforts double. To keep ahead is accepted as every man's duty, and whether it is a National Campaign, a District Campaign, a Division Campaign or an Individual Campaign, each man, without any special urging, buckles on his armor and goes forth to battle and victory. That is the spirit that gets results and that makes us proud of our institution and of the men who keep it moving.
