(Q) How can the body obtain further financial support to
carry on the business of the ... Drug Company?
(A) There should be much consideration given in the
undertaking. While these conditions as surround same may be
considered in the general manner as of an acute condition,
the general conditions over the business world are such that
these are NOT more acute than with others, or in other lines.
This is being considered from more than one standpoint. As
has been given, that the body should open such a place, for
the satisfaction, for the contentment, for the peace of mind
- yet these conditions have, and do present much OTHER than
that of a contentment, or peace of mind, WHEN viewed wholly
from the material viewpoint; yet there may be many channels
through which additional capital, or credit, may be had.
Most, as we find, should be confined - as near as possible -
to the abilities of the body as respecting those things,
those of the various characters of conditions as are held
already in hand. Those who have associated with, those who
HAVE assisted the body under various circumstances, various
conditions, will aid in a sufficient manner - until there is
the opportunity to dispose of, exchange, or align various
interests of the body - in such a manner as to carry on.
These must be worked out by the body, by the body
association, by the body associates, and this will be found -
that as the willingness to do, as the opportunity offers
itself, the body will be able to carry on. Carry on as if
the capital were unlimited; not in an extravagant manner, no
- but in a manner as in keeping with the conditions as
surround the body in every respect.
(Q) Will the winter business justify purchasing additional
equipment for the lunch business and the fountain?
(A) It should, provided that is not done on too large a
scale, or too extravagant in the conducting of same.
(Q) Is [
5513] the proper person for the position he now
occupies as manager of the store?
(A) As has been given, the ABILITIES are there. Is the
willingness to serve made in accord WITH the abilities, very
good - excellent.
(Q) Is the ... Drug Company, or a subsidiary corporation of
same, to be the manufacturers of the pharmaceutical products
prepared from formulas obtained through the psychic readings
of Edgar Cayce?
(A) This has yet to be wholly determined by circumstances as
will surround same.
(Q) What would be the best plan to follow in closing the
business in Manhasset?
(A) Choose a time or period when there is the most
aptibility and plausibility for the peoples to have the most
monies, or capable of obtaining same and dispose of same -
not as of a loss, but as of a special sale or inducement.
(Q) When should this be done?
(A) In the middle of November to the middle or latter part
of December.
(Q) Should the vacant lot that the body owns in Manhasset
be offered for sale now?
(A) A more propitious time will be about April or June of
next year.
(Q) At what price should the body sell the lot?
(A) From twenty to twenty-two thousand.
(Q) Should the body offer the home in Manhasset for sale,
or try to rent same?
(A) The body will find that the LEASING of same would be the
most satisfactory as to the price, for we find there IS to
be - especially in the spring and summer of next year - an
especial advance in property in and about Manhasset, for
this - as seen - is to receive one of the first of that as
may be called a boom, or a SUCCESSIVE boom for properties.
(Q) Give the body any advice and council that will help him
at this time.
(A) Has the body determined in self that it has chosen
wisely and well in its activities day by day? In its choice
of association in every direction, are they in keeping with
the ideal the body has sought, does seek, and in taking such
stock of self the body will find SOME changes, SOME
conditions that amendments or change will be gradually
brought about. Think not to destroy anything by the merely
quitting or changing of same, until a whole consciousness is
gained of the PURPOSE of it all. Do not fight blindly or in
the dark, for the whole of the physical and mental training
of the body has been - and is - of a purpose, or a reason for
accomplishing or going about any activity. Then, are those
activities - are those purposes - in accord with the ideal
as is builded, as is sought, as may be FOUND BY the self?
Then work like thunder! We are through.
