Most Conspicuous Supporter.

In America this form Of cooperation
is Of more recent date. The Proctor &
Gamble company, after suffering from
great many strikes, adopted profit
sharing and has had no serious labor
troubles since. About the same time,
1885, N. o. Nelson, millionaire brass
manufacturer Of st. Louis, took up
the plan and has since been its most
conspicuous supporter In the country.
AS already stated, Nelson not only in
cludes his employees, but his custom

has also given his workmen an ever In.

self The experiment has proved emil
nently successful One of Mr. Nelson's
innovations was to found a town in
Illinois, which took its name from Lee
claire, the practical founder of profit
sharing in France. 1t is one of the
boasts of this town that it has never
had any other government than the
state laws and yet has never known a
crime. In it there is no renting. each
workman owning his own home and
paying for 1t as he can. Nelson lives
among bis employees In house but
little more pretentious than theirs. One
of his cherished ideas is that it is a
bad habit for captains Of industry to
get rich, since they have higher mis-
sion in serving the public.
l used to know Nelson about the

council, where he had something to
do with inaugurating the reform wave
| that finally brought Joseph w. Folk
| to the front. He is an unpretentious
| man, ever in sympathy with all ad-
| vanced movements and freely helping
| every worthy cause and sincere indi-
vidual that appeals to him. One of
| his pet ideas in the council was to sell
city franchises at public auction, but
in this he was defeated. He promoted
causes like the fresh air mission, free
steamboat trips for the poor, work

way in 1874 and came to this country
in childhood. He was educated in the
common schools Of Missouri and served
as a private in the Union army during
the civil war. He started life as Q

he established his mandatory OF

which he is now turning over to his

The Many-Man Power

We employ on our Copy Staff the ablest
men we know. We have picked them
out, in the course of years, by the bril-
liant results we have seen them accom-
plish.
No one else pays for such talent what
we pay. So we attract here the very best
in the field.
Then, in this vortex of advertising
this school of myriad experiences
these men multiply their powers.
Yet we never permit any one of these
men to work out campaign alone. There
is too much at stake.
One man can't know all the pitfalls.
One man has limited knowledge, limited
ideas and experience. And no one man
can average human nature.
