TALKS ON THRIFT
Why the Jews Get Ahead

The great secret of success in life is
TO be ready when your opportunity comes.
-Disraeli.
II you ride or walk up lower Broad
way. New York city, say, from the city
hall TO Wanamaker's store, a distance of
about a mile and quarter, a thing that
Will strike you most forcibly is the fact
that fully 80 per cent of the names on
the places of business on both sides OF
the street are Enthusiastically Jewish.
Another thing which would not be so
apparent to you, although it is a fact
nevertheless, is that most of these sue
cesful Jewish merchants are only one or
two generations removed from the East
Side where their fathers or grandfathers
arrived as immigrants from European
countries in search of an opportunity in
the land of the free.
Many of the most successful Jews in
New York do not go back any further
than their own youth to the immigrant
period. Robert Smith, little over 80
years ago. was a poor immigrant from
Russia. He started out as peddler.
Today he is at the head of a large fur
house and owns piece of real estate in
the heart of New York worth $l,000, 900.
Another remarkable case Is that of Louis
J. Horowitz. who was born in Russia 3S
years ago. landed in New York without
money and without friends q years ago,
and is now president of a company which
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-05-08

is the foremost building organization in
tfe world, the constructor of the Wool
worth building, the Municipal building,
the McAlpin hotel and many other mann
moth structures in the metropolis
The Jews in the last 30 years have
swept aside all other nationalities in the
clothing industry. They have entirely
transformed the business in all its de-
tails They are likewise obtaining control
of the tobacco business the theatre busi-
ness and many other lines They are also
becoming great land owners, especially
in the cities.
They have accomplished this success as
land holders by the exercise of precisely
those traits and talents that have led to
their control of the clothing industries
their ability to economize, to operate on
a small capital and to find minute pronts
In hitherto unsupported corners.
Burton j. Hendrick, writing in Nc
Clure's magazine, explains the success of
tho Jew in America thus:
'He is the greatest 'shoestring' capt.
talist in the world. He can do with 81
what the average citizen cannot do with
$40 He can start on the smallest possible
scale, finance himself for months in hand
to-mouth fashion, save in picturesque
ways that would never occur to the av-
erage man, gradually get a grip and ulti-
mately emerge with a large and profit
able business in his control
In other words, the Jewish people pre-
pare for their opportunity, keeping in
mind the truth expressed by that Illus
trious member of their race, the former
prime minister of England whose words
are quoted at the beginning of this article.

volume in some lines has sharply de-
creased and falls far short of ship

untitled orders in April will be about
100000 tons
Bridge lettings by railroads during

The Santa Fe has placed an order for
to.C00 tons of rails with the Illinois
steel company. A Cuban railroad in
quiry is for $4,000 tons of so and s0-
pound rails.
Blast furnaces of the country made
a remarkable showing in output of pig
iron in April considering the fact that
more than 80 furnaces were completely
idle on account of the floods and some
have not yet resumed. The output of
coke and antharcite pig iron in April
Was 2,154,363 tons, a loss of only $40

sact that April was shorter month

month with 80 days and the average
daily output in April was 91,S12 tons,
gam OF 1853 tons compared with
March, but loss of 2S3 tons compared
with February.
The tonnage of iron and steel ex-
ports in March as indicated by ad-
vance sheets issued by the government
