KEYS TO SUCCESS.
Mr.. Edward Box, Editor of the Ladies' Home
journal, Tells Young Men How
Success is Won.
Every young man wants to succeed.
There is nothing SO self-satisfying as the
bountiful rewards which await the man
who struggles and conquers. Fame,
honor, wealth and power are the laurels
which Success bestows.
The present century is replete with
examples of young men, who, alone and
unaided, have risen to

r H@A chosen callings. Here
n AH IVA we have the striking
IS a. ~ example of the presi-
EsAyG ~ dent of the largest
VYExll manufacturing corpora
ams9eI ton in the world, rising
to this position from one
of the lowest places in
the Company's service. Again, - the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
years, earned only $500, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely a drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success?
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build successful career, and yet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of Others John D.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, "Keys
to Success, the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men just how
they can develop those qualities indis-
pensable to success, and win both money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.
