The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1891-08-22
A Story Of Stephen Glrard.

A characteristic story of Stephen
Girard was that he induced boy
to work for him till he was twenty
one years old by promising to give
him a good start in life afterward.
When the time came the young man
applied for the promised reward.
The eccentric old merchant looked
at him for moment, and then said
gruf1y: $50 and learn a trade. |"
Considerably cast down, for he had
expected very different start, the
young man turned away; but after
some reflection, knowing something
of the others peculiarities, he de-
cided to do as he had been hidden,
and learned the cooper's trade.
When he had mastered it, year or
so later, he presented himself again,
and the old man gave him an order
for two barrels. He made and deliv-
cred them, and Mr.. Girard exam
ined and praised them. "Now," he
said, "you have capital that you
cannot lose, for you can always fall
back on your trade if you meet with
adversity," and then he advanced
his protege a considerable capital
with which to start in business
