Hts First start IN Business.
In the now issue of the city directory
there appears the name of Walter l..
Sawdon, newsdealer, No. 1909 Market
street. There is nothing especially
striking about this fact alone, but there
IL pleasant little story connected there
with, showing what h 6-years. old lad
can accomplish.
The Walter Il. Sawdon mentioned is
son OF larry b. Sawdop, and haG
been G yeare old but few months.
lIo is also the youngest newsdealer in
the city. When he first entered the
newspaper business in March Walter
had only two customers he could call
his own, but he had pluck and energy,
and as result of this combination his
regular customers to-day number GO.
lIo has sold nearly three times that
number of papers IN day. lie is pUs
slhly as we'll known-iD a way, at least
Ito the officials at the Court House
and thuse who have daily business
there. as is any member of the bar of
the State or even the judiciary. Chief
Justice Lore is one of Walters best
| friends, and 1t was really through the
kindness of the Chief Justice that
Walters prosperity has reached the
scope il has to-day. Formerly the
| Court House officials were much an.
noyed by newsbovs calling their papers
| in the offices and corridors, and il was
nuisance which thcy hnd Dever been
| fully able to get rid of. They wanted
| the newspapers, hut they did not care
about having half the boys in the city
there TO see that they were served
properly. On the other hand the hoys
knew that it was good place for sales
ana as snon as the papers were out in
the afternoon tho Court House was
their objective point-at least for many
of tbom.
But there came a time when things
changed. Chief Justice Lore thought
that one good hoy could supply the de-
mgnd for papers at the Court House
better than haF hundred and it was
decided that Walter be allowed that
privilege. Those who gave it to him
have never regretted tho giving. He is
welcome visitor in every office in the
big building and customer once with
him ia customer all the time Every
official is his friend and no is what
might be termed in newsboy parlaEce
"a hustler. "
Frum the proceeds Of his paper
business Walter recently purchased a
bicycle. IL il miniature affair,
weighing IA pounds and was built tc
his especial order. On the track few
days ago the lad showed surprising
speed by riding mile in four minutes
and so seconds.
