friendless and who, during the 6rst two
years, earned only 5000, working beside

influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made theiz-
own opportunities they fought the. OWE
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success ,
What is that irresistible force which hay
enabled them to overcome all obstacles.
to surpass their fel1ow-men? Every am

realizes that he must possess something
more than thess mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success

successful men will tell you that they alh
possessed certain force of character---
