The Thomas W. North Advertising
Agency. It's founded now, 1915 a.
m, October sixteenth, at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Firty-sixth street,
New York;"
This is so sudden!" exclaimed
Tommy. But his heart leaped and
danced
Now, see, Mr.. North, resumed Bet
sy-Barbara, i've diagnosed your case.
The trouble with you is that you're
drifting. Isn't it?"
I suppose So" said Tommy.
And 1t has been the whole trou
bic, l think" Betsy-Barbara announc-
ed this gravely from the superior
height of twenty-four years. You
need responsibility. You don't want
TO grow into the kind of young man
Mr.. Dayne and Mr.. Murphy are.
They're professional drifters now.
When you're boss, you won't be loaf
ing on the job. You'd discharge an
employe who did that-and you can't
discharge yourself. Some day you'll
wish you had a business of your own.
Then you'll look back and be sorry
you didn't start it when you were
young. You can get business, can't
you?"
Il ought to-" said Tommy.
And / think you ought" she
checked herself here. She wanted to
personality should be able to drag
business out of a rock. What she did
add was another question.
And you can-fix up-the business
when you get it?"
Il suppose 1 can. never lost a
place for incompetence-exce the

"Then there's really nothing more

Just get an office, and hang out
your shingle, and go TO work. You
may fail of course. But you'll be do
ing it for yourself. and that, Thomas
w North, is what you need"
Tommy North had been looking at
her as one who sees visions and hears
to think. That's the way 1 used to
talk" he said. CT did't realize until
l heard II from you, how I'd got over
it. l guess / don't think that way any
more. It's this town, Miss Lane. New
YOrk's queer place. 1t fills up every
year with young men and young girls.
Some go right straight up to the top,
but most just drift along at the bot
tom, until they give up and go home.
I guess that was happening to me
/ was drifting at the bottom"
you're nearer TO it than you ever
were" said Betsy Barbara. You see
I'm new here and l haven't lost that
feeling that you get in New York the
minute you come-that you can move
mountains. And while 1 still feel that
way, I'm going to make you work"
"All right" commanded Tommy
North, fire away! I'll do anything
you tell me to and go anywhere you
say" He did not add what his heart
said. Even to the end OF the world"
THE first thing to do, when you're
starting in business is to find an Of

There are lots Of good cheap little
places in lower Fifth avenue" said
Tommy North.
Let's look at them right now!"
exclaimed Betsy Barbara. And the
newly-formed Thomas w. North Ad
vertising Agency wheeled and started
southwark.

The invalid on the top flour took a
