Coed Men in Demand

G.. A. Skinner, fancy goods
buyer for Los Angeles depart
ment store, writes:
The trouble with too many
young men who enter depart
ment stores is the fact that they
are not paid $lO0 month to
start with. Because they are
pu6 on at d salary equal to what
they would get elsewhere. they
think there is nothing in the fu-
ture. Again, it arises from the
fact that they see men above
them getting higher salaries and
the beginner seems to feel that
these men must have started with
substantial salary at first.
I know from actual experience
that a boy or young man can
make for himself a future by
which he can command his own
salary if he goes after the work
wi4h an interest.
Every department store in the
country can get salesmen by the
hundreds. There are altogether
too many men to be found who
will be content to stand behind a
counter and sell goods, but the
increasing demand for really
good, competent men to take
charge of special departments
ann run the business prOfitably
is becoming to great many de-
partment store heads. These
men, when found, can almust
name their own salary, for the
reason that they know there are
no other men waiting to take the
place offered them.
My own experience has taught
me there is a future for any
young man who cares to devote
his time and energy to the de-
partment store business. When
I first started work it was here
in Los Angeles, at the Broad
way Department Store, wrapping
bundles at 50 a week. By ordi-
nary attention to business l was
promoted to the main wrapping
desk and from there to selling

Came Out With Flying coIors

james McCrea, president OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, said
in an interview 10 Pittsburg, ap-
ropos of a false charge against a
financial institutions: ''This
charge was more than refnted.
The institution came out with
flying colors. It reminds me Of
an incident that happened when
1 was a rodman in my youth.
Working on the ConneIsville line,
I took number of meals with
middle aged farmer and his wife.
Gne day at dinner ] noticed that
the farmers wife seemed rather
out of sorts, and after dinner [
wasn't surprised to hear her say:
Josiah Simmons, to think that
you have forgotten that this is
the anniversary of our weddingp
"Old Josh flushed guilty,
looking up from his paper with
start. Then he frowned, and
said in surprised voice; why,
mother, you must be mistaken.
We were married on the 8th.

eqcuse me, she said, 1 was think
ing of my first marriage anni-
