every industrial and financial lead­

new and perplexing problems re­
quiring the highest courage and in­

Ninety billions a year, they tell

than tbe amount It is difficult to
say where it may lead us la efea

We are moving exceptionally
fast. Our economic and Industrial

Few are in complete control, for

Business Is full of the romance
of youngsters whoso chief char­
acteristic was working hard and
keeping at IL There was a green
farmer boy who decided ho would
rather stand behind a counter than
follow a plow. He seemed so ob­
viously lacking in sales ability
that for a time no merchant would
hire him. He failed In his first
position, and In bls second bls
salary was reduced. He sveb
sgreed thst he was a misfit—but
he stuck.
Out of bls first five
stores, I believe, three failed. But
he persisted and worked hand.
And that boy, Frank W. Wool­
worth, became ths greatest retail
merchant In the world with a store
in every city of eight thousand or
more population In this country.
There was another lad wbo
clerked In a grocery store slxteea
hours a day and studied mathe­
matics In his odd moments. Ho
became Interested in the doings of
the steel plant whose emnloyoee
traded at this store. Ho began to
study steel and sought a position
la tbe plant Ho carried a sur­
veyor’s chain and drove stakes. At
night he studied mathematics and
engineering. He did not doopair.
He could not bo diverted. Ho kept
tbe pressure oa for seven yean.
And that boy, Charles Schwab,
mastered the Iron Industry and be­
came one of the country’s groat
industrial loaders.
