CLIMBING TO THE TOP. Way is Open for Brains, Energy ami Perseverance. In one of the magazines there was a story printed recently under a heading, "Where they Were at Thirty/' It dealt with men who have come to be national figures in industrial *\ affairs in Amrica. I"'Where They Were at Twenty" would be more interesting. The present writer was over in New York recently to see the man who is head of one of the greatest railroads s in the world and representative of John D. Rockefeller's big interests in transportation lines. "Where were you at twenty? "the TiP.wsnaDer man asked. "Telegraph operator at a way s:a,tion on a railroad in Arkansas," was the reply. "Where did you begin?" the greatest publisher in America, if not in the world, was asked. "At twelve years of age, with a capital of three cents," was the answer. Are the opportunities today as good as in days gone by? Assuredly. There never was greater opportunity. From out of the ranks of office boys, the clerks, the railroad employees, the roadmen, the students, the shopmen, the factory workers, the salesmen of today will come the great cap< tains of tomorrow. The opportunity is bigger today because the active, the enterprising, the alert and the capable stand out in vivid'contrast at a time when there is so much of inclination to shirk | and loaf on the job. The shirker gets nowhere. The :p: worker climbs. < On? of the partners of the banking house of J^P. Morgan & Co. *as a t r reporter in New-York getting $30 a Wf-'1- week twenty years ago. The head of the biggst life insurk ; > anee company in the world was a small-town school teacher when he was twenty. Before that he worked on a farm. ^ * i Frederick Underwood, president of ^ 1 the Eri Railroad, was a brakeman. gj The president of the Fidelity Mu: tual Life Insurance Co., of Philadelphia, started his business career as errand boy for John Wannamaker at *y $1 a week. Thomas Edison was a "train ^ butcher," selling candy, cakes and j,// such things to railroad travelers.* l :*?'>' y The mayor of New York was a lojs ?*'* comotive fireman. The greatest retail merchant the world has ever known, and who died leaving $65,000,000, was a hired hand in a country store. $ j \ John Carty, one of the principal administrative officers of the Ameri|V\;, can Telephone and Telegraph Co.; Sfiv : } Vose from a $5 a week job in the company's Boston office. fD. C. Jackling, the biggest figure in & v copper mining in America, was a farm hand in St. Clair county, Missouri and got his start educationally by ' , Y studying at night by candle light in , the attic of the rude shack he called > * "home." 5 , Michael Idvorsky Pupin, wo de veloped the long-distance telephone, ; - was a porter in a New York store, ^ f before that he was a farm hand. George M. Reynolds, president of k; the Continental and Commercial Bank, of Chicago, the largest financial institution outside of New York . started as an office boy for a concern ' in Penora, Iowa. A list like this could be continued ?/ .until columns were filled. The foregoing has been suggestedby a bit of stuff that came floating in from Armour & Co./ which shows how nearly all the men in that monster organization rose from small jobs in the Armour plant. For instance: Arthur s Meeker, vice president, started at tne dih aesK. oo mu Everett Wilson, superintendent of branch houses, and Frank W. Wad-dell, head of the provision department. F. Edison White, vice-president, spent his first years with the company % . as a clerk. , 1 # E. A. Valentine, vice president and i head of the soap works, made his start as a salesman. v / Robert J. Dunham, vice president, began as a clerk, and Frederick W. Croll, vice president and treasurer, as assistant to the paymaster. Charles H. McDowell, president of the Armour fertilizer works, entered the employ of the company as a stenographer. George R. Robbins, vice president was a clerk in the transportation departmen t. John E. O'Hern went to Chicago twenty-three years ago looking for a job and found one in the Armour oleomargerine department at $1.75 a day. Today he is general superintendent of sixteen Armour plants. Myrick D. Hafding, general superintendent of the Chicago plant, who directs the works of 16,000 men, started with the company as a messenger at $3 per week. Fred C. Shaw, division superintend ent of the Chicago plants, started as a bookkeeper. A. P. Penson. head of the canning department, sits today at a desk 100 feet from the table at which as a boy of fourteen, he worked for $3.50 a week. Charles Eikel, general superintendent of the St. Paul plant, started with the company as an office boy. Would these men have had their fine positions today had they been shirkers and clock watchers? Not in a thousand years. For every big job there is in America today there will be two twenty years from now. There never was better opportunity for the bright youngster or the bright young man. It does not matter what you are today, office or bank clerk, farmnana or salesman, attendant or truckman. For, in this country more than in any other, can it be said with truth: I am the master of my fate, I am th? captain of my soul. Work and you win. Loaf and you lose.?Exchange.
