J. P. MOHOA.N, JB.
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

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.
