II E world know little of tbe heirs apimrent of the kings of finance of the sons of the very rich who are destin ed to step Into the shoes of their fathers. It was one of the favorite die turns of the late Itussell Sagetbat If you let a boy know that he Is going to be rich when be grows up In nine eases out of ten he turns out worth less. Undoubtedly most of the sons of American magnates know that they will succeed to their fathers' fortunes, and very few of them have turned out In accordance with the Sage formula. The apparent heir to the greatest fortune accumu lated In this country Is John D. Rockefeller, Jr. He went through college with the allow ance of a boy of moderate circum stances, lie has worked at a clerk's desk at a clerk's salary and is reputed to know the oil business in its J- Rockefeller, jb. minutest detail. It is not likely that he will ever dissipate the fortune that his father made. J. IMerpont Morgan, Jr., has taken over a large share of the financial re sponsibilities of the elder Morgan, and the time cannot be far distant when be will be the head of the house of Morgan & Co. Immedi ately after grad uating he began work as a clerk In his father's office. lie obey ed the same rules laid down for the other clerks and displayed a great capacity for hard work. As soon as he bad mastered the de tails of one department he was shift ed to another, and so on throughout the many branches of the great finan cial Institution. II. II. Rogers, son of the late execu tive bead of the Standard Oil, has as sumed many of the responsibilities of his father. lie graduated about eleven years ago and since then has made a reputation for sticking to business. Tn Dollar a Week Clerk. William K. Vanderbllt, Jr., is now thirty-three years of age. After grad uation young Vamlerbllt went to work like any ten dollar a week clerk, the only difference being that be didn't have to. Cornelius, third of the nume and grandson of the old commodore, like all the Van derbllts, went to Yale and there dis tinguished himself by his close appli cation to bis stud ies, lie showed a decided taste for engineering, and after leaving col lege he entered the machine shops of the New York Central and subse quently patented a w, locomotive which Is now In extensive use on nil of the Vanderbllt lines. He Is not now Iden tified with any of the old Vanderbllt Interests, such as the New York Cen tral and Lake Shore roads, but is a director In the Illinois Central and the Delaware and Hudson. "The richest heritage thot a young mini can have," James J. Hill once said, "Is stern necessity." He hod no heritage of this sort to bestow upon his son, Louis W. Hill, but be gave to him what was equally valuable, stern re sponsibility. This came about when the elder Hill re signed from the presidency of the Oreot Northern, relegating the du ties of the olllce to his son. Of the sou It Is related thot when he was twelve years of age n family conference was held In the Hill home In St. Paul for discussing the future of the youth. Severn! ca reers were suggested. The Iniy listened to them nil and then calmly announc ed his Intention of being a railroad Bum. Climbed From Bottom Up. The young president of the Great Northern Is credited with knowing the rnllio:i,l iiiHiut-xs from the bottom up After bis college ibiys he began work lu bis chosen Held as laborer with ft construitioii gang. He next went to the shops and subsequently to the op erating department. Then he became n clerk In the executive omVes. Grad ually working his' way up, l e became president of the I'astern railroad of Minuesotn and then hod placed upon B. W. OOELET. R. VASDERBILT, J II. Finance Ready Fathers' Places bis shoulders the management of the Great Northern Included in the list of the younger generation who are making good is Robert Walton Goelet. One of bis recent ventures was the erection of the Ritz-Carlton In Madison avenue, New York. There Is no spec ulation as to who will succeed James Stillman, former head of the Na tional City bank, as It is certain that this will be James A. Stillman, his son. The younger Stillman has been trained in business since be graduated from Harvard with the class of 1300. He first served as a clerk, then as as sistant cashier. A few years later he was elected as a director and vice president of the bank. Until called back to attend his fa ther's Illness young Averell Harrlman, son of the late E. II. Harriman, was carrying a chain in a surveying gang on the Oregon Short Line in Idaho. At that time be was receiving a salary of $05 per month. After the death of his father be went into the operating de partment cf the Harriman lines and Is now identified with the huge inter ests which his father built up. 8ons of Thomas F. Ryan. Mortimer L. SchlfT Is being trained to assume the responsibilities of his father, Jacob Sch I II, one of the biggest money powers in Wall street. He began work as a clerk at $3 a week in the office of K u h n, Loeb & Co. and by hard work and applica tion to business won his position as a member of the firm. Klng don Gould, the heir presumptive to the Gould millions, learned the practical side of mining in Colorado. Edwin, another of the sons of the late Jay Gould, Is president of the St. Louis and Southwestern rail road and through bis energy and skill has made a paying business of tbe property. Allan A. Ryan and Clendenln J. Ryan, sons of Thomas F. Ryan, are fitting themselves to take- up their fa ther's work. In 1900 tbe two formed tbe firm of Allan A. Ryan & Bro. Allan Ryan pre sents as fine an example as you can find of the son of a rich man who has succeed ed. Where he might have lei sure and ease he is a tireless work er. Like bis fa ther, be is tall and rangy, with tre mendous capaci ty for labor. Wall street points to him and says, "He will establish a new mark for the Ryan name." Since his graduation from Yale five years ago Stuyvesant Fish. Jr., has been preparing to follow the lead of bis father. He began bis railroad ap prenticeship in the Chicago offices of tho Illinois Central as a clerk at $00 a month. yysysycyx DAVIDSON FRUIT COMPANY Send us your name or phone us if you are growing STRAWBERRIES and get on our MAILING LIST We are already conducting a large correspon dence'regarding the coming cropand will mail letters occasionally giving out good information and making valuable suggestions to growers.
