EIGHTEEN DOLLARS A WEEK TO
WEALTH..

An eighteen-dollar-a-week workman
at machine shop forge in the latter
eighties, Samuel Vauclain, now vice
president and general manager of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, has
bought for 100000 an estate of $50
acres in Delaware county. He will
build two palatial homes and stock
the estate with the finest horticul-
tural exhibits that money can pro-
vide.
Probably one of the highest salaried
corporation officials in the country,
his rise has been rapid Entering the
big locomotive plant as a workman,
was promoted to foreman, to super
n PENDENT, to general manager.-Phil-
delphia Telegram to the New York
World.
4 He had the grit, the energy, the
bulldog sticktoitiveness. In other
words he was willing to pay the price.
For every young man possessing these
characteristics, a wreath of victory
has already been woven.

Of 60, go, go, morning, noon and
night. 1t is go to the theatre, go to
the moving picture shows, go to the
resorts, go to the restaurants, go to
the card parties, go to the opera, go
to picnics, go shopping, and if there
is no other place to go, they go down
town. Every time they go it is an
outlay of from 10 cents to $40. An
other habit which contributes to the
high cost of living is that of having
others do that which persons could do
for themselves. Instead of having
others do their baking and garment
repairing, people should get back to
"grandfather's day" and do those
