Isl In the analysis OF success there are as
many rules for getting rich as there are
rich men. The combined examples Of those
who already have attained position seem to
point to endless requirements. Attention to
detail, however, either natural or ACQUIRED,
is SO Invariably present, as to point to its
being Fundamental to the money instinct,
1t is found in the lives Of men who have
achieved large fortunes and In those who
have conserved and added to them. It's

George Gould early made q powerful friend
in Russell Sage, He4hrst won tho elder
mans admiration by the thorough way
in which he mastered all his work While In
his fathers office and became acquainted
with the details OF railroad work. Sage,
who always has been known as q sticklerl
for details, often was given information by
the young clerk as to the cost OF spikes and
ties, This captured his heart at once, and
he argued with good reason that any young
man who could have such accurate knowl-
edge In tho beginning OF his career surely
later must be a safe man to conducta great
railway system. It is due to this reason
more than any other that tho name Of Rus
SELL Sage may be found in the directorate Of
many OF the Gould companies, and his
money has been placed in the stock Of many
more.
