The Philadelphia Ledger yesterday
said editorlally: Joshua IL Pussy.
president of The Pussy and Jones'
Company of Wilmington, Delaware,
whose death was announced, was q
typical American mechanic. He SER
we'd q full term of apprenticeship as
machinlst and worked in the shops
where he had learned his trade for
seven years after no was free, or until
he hud acquired enough money to Join
n fellow workman In starting shop
OF their own. That was in 1918. They
occupied shop 40 by IS feet and en-
ployed ten men. After lapse OF moro
than forty years the business, still
prosperous, requires work that cover
seven acres OF ground and, on occasion
gives employment to as many as 900
men. There Is no clement OF specu-
lation in that kind OF fortune milking.
II depends in the main upon tho skill
as workmen. the industry and the
business capacity OF the workman
who start in a small way TO do
thorough work and never
sacrifice reputation for tho sake OF %
little extra profit.
