An Office Bows Success.

Chicago title and trust company, doing
large business. has Just elected as its
president a man who twenty-five years ago
started In to earn his living by working
as an ONCE boy In the same establishment
at $3.50 a week. His present salary IL
$25, 900 a year. In commenting upon the
success OF his former associate one Of the
clerks of the company said:
"As an office boy he was always on the
move; as a clerk he was ever busy; where
ever he was. II he saw that something
should be done, he did it,
This is not remarkably exceptional Many
an ONCE boy has won out by dint of dill
gence and hustle. 1t is mostly hustle that
differentiates the boy who IL marked for
success from the one who is booked for
failure or med1ocrity. Few employers will
fail to take an interest in the Office boy
who Is always on the go-in the right direc-
ton. The lad who does little more than
he Is asked to do. who always does 1t cor
rectly and thoroughly. who 10 always on

The argument now IL that Mr.. Tillman In

to prejudices that need in the public behalf

Is bit surprising and discouraging too to

Local Sociology

Although Mr.. Reynolds. in his report to

the Jobbers and Shippers Association have
shown an interest In the general civic con-

bodies have neglected the sociological fac

greater interest In material and personal

all Westinghouse who are at all familiar
with the work of the larger organizations,
