RICH MAcHINIsT A REALITY
Once Abhorrent to Men Of Fashion,
Millionaires Are Now Proud

'In my time" said an old broker to a

cry was abhorrent to men of fashion.
Black grease, befouled hands. revolving
wheels, and the ugly odor of oil were
things unknown In good society. Con-
slider the change. The motor car, the
naphtha launch. the automobile boat and
the motor cycle have made machinists
OF us all. 1t Is as needful for million
aire to-day to be wise about spark plugs,
oil cups and battery wires as It was need
full In the past for him to be wise about
cobs, hackneys and high-steppers. Ma
chinery plays so big a part in the luxur-

Is proud Of being good machinist Just
as he would have been proud ten years
ago OF being good fencer or a good
horseback rider"
