JAMES w. OSBORNE, ESQ.
jim Osborne has his law Office at No.
lO Wall street, the firm name being
shepard u Osborne. He is a charming
talker, witty, brilliant fellow, who can
make you laugh until the tears come. In
describing his early experiences
in New York, he says the first thing he
discovered when he came here TO
practice law was that he did not know
anything about law; SO lie dropped his
attempts to get business and entered

came IN contact, that business opening

been there, now, five years, and is doing
a good business. That young LAWYER
should be able to make his bread and
meat, within five years after settling on
Wall street, is phenomenal There are
ten thousand young lawyers in New
York city who are now working for
nothing, with the hope of earning enough
to pay board at a second class boarding
house, at the end of an apprenticeship
or from three to four years. They are
graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton.
Cornell, Columbia and all the great col
leges OF America. There are two or
three of these young college graduates in
the office of Shepard & Osborne now.
who are working away with might and
main, IN the hope Of making enough to
pay board within three or four years.
There is no field perhaps in the city in
which there is such tremendous pressure
as that of law, no field in which success
is so hard to achieve. Unless a young
man has fund at home from which to
/ draw, and does not want to starye, he
, better not venture into New York as 9

' success is conspicuous one But lie
