HANDLE YOUR OWN MONEY;
SAYS FORMER BLACKSMITH
ItomaiM-c of Oorge C Wfll's Rise In Dramatic Stpry of "Haml
ling Ones Own Money," Sees Chance for All, j
Learning a trade and learning
it thoroughly is the foundation of
success in any business, according
to George C. WiU, proprietor of
one of Salem's music concerns.
Mr. Will started his business ca
reer working for a dollar a day.
He came to Salem with but $4,000
capital. Today he Is one of the
largest property owners in the
city.
I hesitate to tell my story
saldMr.Wni when. Interviewed
by a representative of The States
man. "I never cared for brag
ging." Many young men of today think
opportunities for business success
in this city have' been exhausted
by the older generation. Truth
is, the city is offering to yonrig
men greater opportunities for
success than1 ever i before. To
achieve such success, however, the
men must be. willing to prepare
themselves thoroughly.
"It Is" against the best interests
of the younger generation not to
learn and not to learn thorough
lysome trade to which they are
adapted. The men must see that
learning a trade not not an end
in itself, but a means to an end,
the end ,being the business in
which they can apply the knowl
edge of their trade?
"I attribute what success I have
attained not so much to hard work
or to careful investments as to
having thoroughly developed my
mechanical 'tendencies.
, ;i assured myself thorough
knowledge of the music business
by familiarizing myself with every
part of a piano and of a phono
graph. .
' ldThere is another place where I
believe I have prolted. I have
always handled . my own money.
Bonus and stock may be all right.
But I am morel Interested in my
own money than anybody else Is.
"Young men looking for invest
ments should realize that, too
often the men who get hold of
money are not" as capable of man
aging It as those who make the
loans. If they let ' their money
out for bonds, the money Is taken
out of their sight. They are re
lying; entirely upon their confi
dence In the one to whom it is
loaned.' "-" ' ' j
"If they invest their money at
home, and see to it that they have
a. say in the management of it.
they Will help to promote their
section and at the same time will
be able to see that their money
is being used properly.
' VKow. how'to get the money?
Is there a' man; not left anbrii1.
who has not asked himself s that
puxtling question.? I can say at
the start that the first thousand
dollars is tho hardest to gel.
"I did not attempt to make asy
money until I bad- learned 'my
trade completely.::" My earnings
were nothing nin I was 21, Then
I. star ted 'to work at a dollar A
