He felt with a shock the strength
and the will to get these things. The
worn man whose inspired eyes burned

and will into him. He threw out his
arms, drew a quick breath, and rose

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com
pany a Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on a sound principle, rather
than money, is best illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the
+. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac.
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and Immediately proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of r. Suhm as a journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
a year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only a German apprenticed arti-
san knows now Subsequently a stock of
goods was carried and a retail business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
we'll determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 5000 pair per day, giving en-
~ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-ive statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6, 1893,
after building up a large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George P. Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who, by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing, the business up to its present
of German thrift and industry.

what stopped me-"
The Lord" Harding answered
tersely. 1T isn't the first time he has
made children his messengers"
Maxwell lifted his eyes dreamily,
like a mar who had been unconscious
and who was coming slowly back to a
world too good to be true. Il used
to believe those things he said. I'D

down. But I've never liked it. I've

The clergyman had pushed the man
into a deep chair; the freight washed
a friendly vagueness we the shabby
clothes and over his face, molding
now into new lines under a crisis. His
eyes lifted to his friends with a dazed
gaze which had lost bitterness. DIR.
