WON ON A BLUFF.
The Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

Got His Start In Business.
There is a prosperous merchant IN
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation of a $1,000 organ to q
church at time when he didn't have
money enough TO buy hand organ.
This donation was case Of bluff pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth or
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital TO
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking OF he
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person be
could think Of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation to lend it and had been turned
down, be conceived the idea Of present
ins his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there

future to look out Tor itself. The man
ufacturcrs of the organ never thought

Of the philanthropist who was handing
out $4,000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument set up in the church on

Of course J. Smith was not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benefcence under bushcl.
He managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
OF conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
cd congregation spread the news OF his
gift.
During this time John did not allow,
any alfalfa to grow under his fcet or
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor details Of the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject Of the company that he was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be a good
thing to be associated with man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $1,000 without
missing it, so that all We're anxious to
take stock in J. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ Smith had
gathered enough money to start bis
business and was doing so we'll he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment. From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away severa!
