VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a black and white illustration depicting a horse-drawn cart that has come to an abrupt halt. The horse, in the foreground, has reared up on its hind legs, clearly startled or refusing to move forward. The driver appears surprised and is being thrown backward due to the sudden stop. In the background, there's a wooden fence and trees which suggest a rural setting. At the top of the image is text reading "A good servant doth not all commands, " implying that sometimes it's better for those who serve to use their own judgment rather than blindly follow orders. Below the illustration, further text explains this concept by stating that this was one time when the horse knew best because it saw a snake in its path—a potential danger that justified its refusal to proceed. The bottom of the page features an advertisement with bold letters spelling out "SIMONDS - Servants in Industry, " suggesting Simonds as a company values intelligent service akin to what's depicted above—where employees are encouraged to think critically rather than just obeying without question. This ad likely dates back several decades when such illustrative advertisements were common for promoting products or services while also conveying moral messages or business philosophies.
