The Business Gambler

Grimes, p. A., down to the level for a
while.
Try to hold me in the background
on that old option gag while he gets
control Of just enough of the timber
to make his own price with me or 20
into the business himself as a com
petitor, will he?"
John Hake spoke thus as he jammed
a number of leases into his small
travelling bag and climbed into a mud
dy old buggy preparatory to a 22-mile
drive to the little station of Lockport,
down in Arkansas. Hake had spent
the day with several farmers and had
at the opening of this story just con-
cluded a stroke of business which
meant many thousands of dollars for
the company Of which he was the head.
Mr. Hake did not really need the
money which the days deal was sure
to bring him. In fact, If it had meant
the loss of an equal amount he would
not have changed his tactics one bit.
Hake had found that William Grimes
purchasing agent of the M. & N. M
Railroad Company, had tried to turn
the tables on him in a business deal
and he would not have hesitated for
one moment at the expenditure of any
amount of money in the battle to win
He was a business gambler. He de-
lighted in taking long chances and
then staying in the game for the ex-
element of winning out. He clipped
his coupons and did his voting in
northern metropolis, but was well
known in the business communities of
many cities. At the time of his en-
counter with Grimes he had just or

ganized a company to erect a sawmilI
in well known lumber district in Ar
kansas, and had about closed a deal
with the NJ. G. N. M. Railroad Company
to supply it with railroad ties, the
quantity of which would keep the mill
in operation for several years.
The directors of the company met in
Memphis and Mr.. Hake was on hand
to close the deal Before the board
got together Grimes, the purchasing
agent who had conceived a brilliant
idea while the deal was still in prog
ress, went to the directors and sug-
gested that he could buy the timber in
Arkansas as cheaply as Hake and
could raft it down the river to Mound.
vile, where there was a sawmill which
would turn out the ties at a price
much lower that Hake had offered. OF
course, this was not explained to Hake
who was simply told by the president
of the company that other matters
would claim their attention at the
meeting scheduled, and asked to have
the matter stand-or in other words
give them an option-for three days.
Now Mr. Hake did not need to exer-
else any great amount of his natural
keenness to convince himself that UNI
less he got up early and stayed late

lumber deal over in Arkansas. He
could not tell JUS what it was, but ne
knew well that railroad that was just
pining away for ties one week would
not put the matter off unless there
was something doing

ton John Hake was asking himself

!. LAWRENCE GOODWIN

I
G. Lawrence Goodwin, native OF Surry
and for many years in the barber business
in Bar Harbor, died last Wednesday at the
home Of his brother, Stephen Goodwin, in
Starry.
Mr.. Goodwin learned his trade as bar
Der in Bangor, and later opened shop in
Ellsworth in partnership with the late
Alex. Parody. They continued in business
here for twelve years, opening a branch
shop in Bar Harbor.
Mr.. Goodwin afterward conducted the
business alone, selling out his Ellsworth
shop and giving all his time to Bar Har-
Dor. He had also conducted winter shops
in Florida, and for one year was barber
on Mediterranean excursion steamer.
During his years as barber he had in his
chair some OF the most famous nen OF the
country, including three presidents = Ar
thur, Harrison and Cleveland - General
Mcclellan, Admirals Sampson and Schley,
James g. Blaine, and many lesser lights.
