4 striking example of the effect of
modern business conditions is the case
of Charles NJ Schwab. There was some
thing almost meteOric in his rise from a
poor boy 10 be, at less than forty, rich
man, the president of the largest cor
poration in the country, and drawing a
salary twice that of the president of the
Cnited States. And almost equally
meteoric was his disappearance from
that position after a very few years of
service-incapacitated by nervousness.
