A SUCCESS STORY.

A SUCCESS STORY.
This is a short story of success about
John NJ. Smythe, merchant prince OF
Chicago.
/ Success StOESDS are all alike.
The bloom and flower Of great pros
perity nearly always grow out Of the
rich muck of poverty and narrow con
ditions. That Is why success stories
are usually alike.
The steady progress Of success
full man is from beneath upward
When Mr.. Smythe died a few weeks
ago be left a monument to his success
full labors In the largest concern Of its
/ kind in the world.
He built the big store for $3.50.
/ That is all the money Mr.. Smythe
/ had when he started his business in O
little hole in the wall on the west side.
/ And that $3.50 be had saved a dime
at time.
Compelled to go to work at the age
Of thirteen in order to support a wild
owed mother and younger children.
there is no gloss Of romance on this
tale Of sordid poverty and small saw
ings and short dinners
Romance and modern business sell
dom go together.
Smythe was the pioneer in Chicago
Of the household instaIlment business
Not out OF philanthropy. but as a pure
~ business proposition. hC put the
credit Of the poor man on a par with
the cash Of the rich man and thus en-
abled tens of thousands of families TO
start housekeeping.
He had competitors.
But many OF his would be competi-
tors tried to practice sharp methods.
They charged all the traffic would bear.
Some of then lied and cheated and de-
ceived.
These merchants could cot prosper
alongside Smythe's honest methods,
one price to all and big newspaper ad-
vertising. His establishment soon be-
came a synonym for fair dealing. Nhus-
tie and achievement. !
The proprietor became a several
times millionaire. The Irish boy who
sIIATttU on $3.50, saved In dimes, grew
rich on his expressed motto that hon
esty Is the best policy.
And that is the only real success. i
Mr.. Smythe did good. with his mon.
ey. giving to charity and helping
young men. His private life was ex-
emplary, and his home was everything
to him.
But you say no American boy can
do what John NJ. Smythe did.
Yes, he can-if be will pay the price.
The price Of such success Is hard
work. study Of business conditions, de-
Votion to details. honesty. a cheerful
spirit and liberal advertising.
The young man of today may not
make so much money as did the Chi
cago merchant. but be will succeed.
