SALE OF PEANUTS MAKES
POOR man A MILLIONAIRE
Patrons of Baseball Games Contribute
to the Fortune of Harry M. Ste
Vens, Who Employs Large
Force to Sell Gubers.


In this day OF self-ralslng million
aires, Harry M. Stevens of New York,
must not be overlooked. Harry is
unique i'm the bunch, inasmuch as he
is the only man that ever parleyed a
bag of peanuts into a million dollars.
The New York baseball fans know
Stevens as the score card man at the
big league parks. We don't have any
thing like him I'm this neck of the
woods because he's in a class by him
self.
And. although known as "Score
Card Harry" this same Stevens is
bigger than most folks imagine. He
has the catering privilege at every big
show i'm Madison Square Garden and
at the big feasts all over the east
Harry's hands are behind the carving
knives. IL is said he feeds more
people than any man i'm the world.
In the money world Stevens is not
| unknown. He is director in four
banks and is a shrewd, willing inves-
tor. Many of his investments have re-
turned big winnings. And, like ]. p.
Morgan, he is in steel, being the con-
trolling power in a big Independent
mill i'm Ohio.
Stevens was born i'm England, but
| forgot 1t as soon as possible and settl-
ed at Niles, O. Grit and education
were the only assets Stevens brought
over the sea, but he used both to add
vantage. Grit showed first when he
took n $2-a-day job as laborer in a
rolling mill. The men he worked for
then are now associate directors, with
Stevens holding aces.
Stevens ventured into the score card
business at Columbus, o., when he
secured the privilege at the ball park
in that city i'm 1886. He drifted to
Boston during the Brotherhood fight
and i'm 1891 he began to feed the fans
of Pittsburg peanuts and sell them
score cards. He secured the Phila-
delphia rights the same year.
With money rolling in, Stevens filled
his cards with ads. He added Boston
and New York to his string and he
has stuck to the metropolis ever since.
Associated with Stevens are his sons,
Frank and Hal, both having snug for
tunes. William is cashier I'm the Niles
bank, and Joe, the kid played on the
| Yale freshman team last season.
| At times Stevens has 1000 men on
his payrolE There isn't day in the
year il Is said. when he isn't cater
ing somewhere at show or banquet
He works ne MANY hOurs aS his small
est salaried employee and has just start
ed to double the million he made on
his peanut parley.
