Few wage earners work any harder than does young millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. Unlike some other young men who have come into the inheritance of vast wealth. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., is a man of strong principles and a firm believer in the nobility of labor.
 After his graduation from Yale uni versty the young man decided to equip himself with a thorough practi- cal Knowledge of every branch of rail road work. Donning a pair of overalls and jumper, he worked side by side with ordinary mechanics, spending two years time in the motive power and civil engineering department of the New York Central Railway.
 He is ar expert mechanic, and has already perfected several inventions which have come into use as improve ments in railway equippage. One of these inventions is a device for use on locomotives which has the effect of facilitating the removal of the fire box from an engine, thus expediting the work of cleaning the fire box.
 In this ricture MT. Vanderbilt has on one of Fincks "Detroit Special' No, 755 Coats and Fincks Detroit Special No. 15 Reversible Overall.
