Mrs. Hetty Greene Recipe For Fortune.
Mrs. Hetty Green is the wealthiesi
woman in the world. Without capital,
friends or influence she has built up o
fortune estimated at $50, ,000,0 900. The
maxims governing her business life
she has formulated as follows:
1. Invest in real estate; buy house
for $4,000 that can be soon sold for
$4,000.
2. Be satisfied with a profit the
proportion of which corresponds with
the size of the investment.
3. Women are seldom successful in
commercial undertakings because they
do not appreciate the Importance of
minding their own business.
4. Imitation may be the sincerest
f1attery, but the good of it all lies with
the things initiated. Success is
stranger to limitation. Peopls with
money to invest should pay no atten-
ton to the doings of others, but look
on things from their own point of
view.
5. The goal of success is not always
reached by the roughest road; the
path is an easy one to find. That is
why so many people miss it.
