settled in his new home, until about

go to the Sisters Hospital in Lewis

t. r. BLUFF WORKED
sHREWD TRICK ~ WHICH MER
CHANT cor A START.
Hls Offer Of Gilt Of 5000 Organ to
Church Established His Credit
A. a Good Man to
Tie To.

There Is prosperous merchant II
Chicago to-day who owes his success
to his donation Of a $1,000 organ to
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 Of
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 he
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the in
clination to lend 1t and had been
turned down, he conceived the idea Of
presenting his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there,
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The
manufacturers Of the organ never
thought Of questioning the financial
standing of the philanthropist who
wis handing out $4,000 organs, and
agreed to have the instrument set up
in the church on time.
OF course ]. Smith was not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benefcence under a bush.
Ell. He managed to bring in at least
the flute stops no matter what the sub
ject of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means Of the church organ. but the
pleased minister and the equally
pleased congregation spread the news
Of his gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet. On
the pretense Of consulting some
wealthy member Of the congregation
about some minor detail Of the organ
he would drop into an ONCE. and be.
fore he left casually would mention
the subject OF the company ne was
forming. Most Of the men that he thus
saw thought 1t would be q good thing
to be associated with Q man who was
making so much money that he was
able to hand out $4,000 without miss
ing 1t, so that all were 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 his
business and was doing so well 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 several
$4,000 organs and pay for them as
well.
