trivial. but four shrewd business men
do not enjoy admitting to themselves
and to their acquaintances that they
nave bought a brick which was not
even well plated.
Three of the partners said:
We're sold; it's a good thing we are
not more out of pocket"
Held On.
But here 1t was that a strong trait
of character which made Marshall
Field so successful In the business
world cropped out. Once having taken
mold. he wouldn't let go until he had
obtained results. He said:
Il refuse to be sold. Even IL my
share of this brick cost me but 50, 500.
| shall not pocket the loss and quit.
I'm going to develop a mine"
Seventy thousand of the Field dol
lars followed the original $500 into
the hole in the ground naar Leadville.
and when 1t was spent-a mine had been
developed, a mine from which the own
ers realized $4,000, 900.
BY the few men who have been
privileged to observe the financial
operations of Marshall Field this dash
into gold mining is said to come nearer
TO speculation, in the modern meaning
OF that word, than any other move the
multimilllonaire eve made.
And the career Of this man should
prove not only an inspiration to the
boy who bears his name, but should
furnish an unfailing guide to him in
business career.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-02-09

ly, anyone who had a stock of goods or
hand was practically certain to sell
them at an advance over what he had
paid for them. The results of the bust.
ness done during the war were some
tning phenomenal. At that time the
money OF Illinois ant all money was SO
rar down In value that you couldn't buy
a dinner with Illinois money across the
state line. So 1t was that tn, man who
bought he most goods under such con-
ditions made the most money. Potter
Palmer made the most money of any
man In Chicago at that time in proper
ton to his capital. The money which
Messrs. Letter and Field made i'll part
nership with our firm made the two
competent to buy out Mr.. Palmer at
the close of the war"
When asked which of the three men
-Messrs. Field, Letter and Palmer-he
considered the ablest business man. Mr..
Farwell replied:
Il believe the ablest business man Is
the man who stays the longest in BUSH
ness and who has made the greatest
success Of it. Mr.. Field was at the ton
of his business career and active on
the day he died, and I think that an
swers the question.
Mr.. Letters particular forte In the
management of the FIRMS business was
In handling the finances.
MI. Fields Strong Faculty.
"One thing which contributed largely
to the success of Mr.. Field was his par
t1cular faculty and success in choosing
his under managers. He was ALWAYS
particularly fortunate n the men who
were associated with him, and this is
shown by the number of men who have
retired from the firm wealthy. He in
trusted the management of the store
to the heads Of departments largely.
but he always remained the supreme
head to see that everything was run
with the minimum of friction. He al
ways put the right man in the right
place, and every one in the employ of
the store knew that he would receive
exact Justice in his dealings with the
head of the Arm.
This is n of the greatest elements
which make for the success Of a busi-
man. When started In business
| had practically to run the depart
ments myself. In Mr.. Fields establish
ment you never found anyone fighting
him. He knew all his old employees
and always recognized them when he
met them.
I'm common with other successful
business men Mr.. Field did not possess
the strongest confidence In other peo-
pie In large business dealings. He
wanted to be certain of his ground be-
fore he made advances. There have
been many failures In the business
world entirely attributable to overcon-
fdence In human nature"
His One Speculation.
One striking thing in connection
with the career Of Marshall Field was
the freedom from speculative tenden-
cies SO marked In the majority of the
who build big fortunes, ana per-
this was owing to an experiences
which he had in the early years OF his
career II was during the days fcliow-l

great improvement over their old
quarters and we are confident that
they soon will find this big store too
small for their needs.
Since moving they have been able
to keep their various departments
more distinct On the south side is
the dry goods department, filled with
dress goods, ribbon, lases and the many
articles of women's attire. Under
meath this side of the building is the
china and glass ware department.
The north side of the store is devoted
to groceries, one large department,
however, being devoted to shoes for
both men and women. The wing
fronting on Court avenue is occupied
by the new hardware department over
which Mr.. A. D. Wilson is The pre-
siding genius and which he has made

lived on a farm until his twenty sec
ond year, but his winters were spent
in study and in attendance at Carleton
college at Syracuse, Ohio, at which
place he acquired that literary taste
which has made him ever a reader and
a student of good books. In 1883
Mr.. Pfarr went to Cedar county,
Iowa, where he worked on farm and
attended high school. In the spring
of 1883 he entered the general mer-
chandise store of w. H. Cobb & Co.,
and two years later he came to Deni-
son to enter the employ of j. P. Mil
ler and Co. He remained with the
firm until the fall of 1893, when "The
Boys" store had its birth. Mr.. Pfarr
was married in 1898 to Miss Jessie
Shattuck, and their happy home is
graced by two charming daughters.
Mr. Pfarr is as hardworking a man
as there is in Denison, he is at his
work early and late, but he neverthe-
less finds time to follow his literary
