PLAN No. 782. ATTORNEY VISITS BROTHER-ATTORNEYS
After graduating from his college he called on attorneys, in the town where he was reared, and obtained the best possible advice from them. He inquired as far as he dared into what they did to make their practice a success. Oftentimes attorneys do not know the plan they have followed, but upon visiting with them you will soon discover that they have followed some general plan of action. If the plan is productive of good profits put it down as a lesson for yourself.
This attorney continued this practice for years. He always made it a point to know all of his fellow attorneys and keep in touch with their advancement from time to time. At least once a year he would lay aside a certain amount of time to call on all the attorneys, and especially find out, if possible, what kind of business they were doing and what new ideas they had in that particular community for the advancement of their profession. He states that each year he obtained points which meant a great deal to his practice, as well as winning the friendship and good will of his fellow attorneys. He states that there was hardly a year that he did not receive something which meant five or six hundred dollars to his practice. Some suggestions as to keeping up the business that came into his office, or that his charges were not sufficient, or he failed to use business methods in this or that.
