He's the Official Joy-Maker

THARLES L. BOYER is an apostle of
4 JOY. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
where he lives, he is known to every
body as matter of course, but more par
ticularly to the children, the invalids, the
cripples, and the poor. AS between Boyer
and Santa Claus, most of the children
in the Keystone capital would choose
Boyer. Santa Claus is more or less of
an unknown quantity, but Boyer is
solid fact. Doesn't the Boyer joy-giving
automobile course up and down the
city streets and out onto the country
roads and over the hills of the park all
summer?
That joy-giving car is sufficient to win
enduring fame for MIR. Boyer, even if
he had done nothing else but bring it into
existence. 1t is a big, roomy machine, de-
signed especially for its joy-giving purpose.

the experience of Mrs. Mary Romans of
Hampstead Long Island.
Four years ago Mrs Romans went
into the poultry business with one chick
en- house and ten hens. For the first two
years the business gave her nothing but
hard, unending work, and ate up all the
profits and a good deal more besides. In
these two years Mrs. Romans did all the
work herself. The third year she had
some help from boy. And now, after
three years, the business is sufficiently
established to justify the employment of
a man to do the heavier work.
But it will never be so large that it can
get along without the personal atten-
ton of it's owner. At least, that is what
Mrs. Romans thinks. "Chickens," she
says, "are like children: what they are
depends on the care they receive"
When it comes to packing the eggs and
broilers, she herself is always on the job.
$50 much depends upon how things look,
she says. Her broilers go to market
daintily wrapped in wax paper, garnished
with parsley, and each in an individual
box. Her fresh eggs are never more than
twenty-four hours old; and the eggs that
she holds in cold storage are tried out
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-01

first on the folks at home before they are
allowed to go to market.
Each egg bears a guaranty, and each
box of eggs carries printed circular from
Mrs. Romans giving some facts about
eggs, of interest to the housekeeper.
A Chicken Farm that Has No
Incubators
THERE are no incubators on the Ho-
mans farm. Mrs. Romans says it is
cheaper to buy day-old chicks, and to
devote her skill to the special parts of
the business in which care counts most.
"The best eggs come from satisfied,
healthy hens" she says. There is a
great difference in the taste of eggs, de-
pending on what kind of care the hens
receive and what their surroundings are"
As for profits, last year they were at
the rate of $2.35 hen. She has now, at
the end of four years, five hundred lay
ers; so you may figure it out for your
self. It's a good business for a woman,
so Mrs. Romans believes; but it is
business, not game. No one succeeds
in it who has not learned that genius is
the capacity for taking infinite palms."

1t took three years Of hard Ia
Dor to make Mrs. Mary Romans
a successful poultry farmer.

In spite of the fact that most people
who enter the chicken business fail, every
city street and every Office building has
it's men and women who look forward
some day to "little place in the country
and living from chickens" The great
majority of them will never realize their
dreams-but it can be done.

could not help being impressed by the
great change, but somehow they never
were quite satisfied with tho new or
der Of things.
One day the creditors of the old firm
of Hoffman, Gerhardt & Shultz got
checks in their mail, together with a
note from the junior partner He re-
called the promise he had made years
before. He was paying, he explained,
not ony his one-third with interest, but
the other two-thirds with interest, for
neither Hoffman nor Gerhardt had
prospered or seemed likely to be able
to pay.
1t is thirty-odd years since the firm
of Hoffman. Gerhardt & Shultz failed
papers paid little attention to the hap
pening. 1t would be different matter
today If Shultz failed, for Shultz
name is known the world over. His
business has spread until his factory
buildings cover many acres of ground
and his employees are numbered by
the thousands. He has farms in the
East, the South, the West, the North
and the middle West to furnish sup
plies for his great kettles. He has a
big glass works in which he makes his
own bottles. The volume of freight
he furnishes to the railroads each year
is immense. He Is a millionaire many
times over. And he is as plain as an
old shoe. For Mother Shultz, whose
$1,000 was the basis Of his fortune,
he shows his respect in a way that is
unique She has been dead some
years, but her sons Office is a memo
rial to her. The windows and the
partitions are Of stained glass, and
on them are the homely proverbs the
good old German woman cheered her
son with in the days of darkness and
of struggle.

the Vegetables according to the time
honored recipes. Shultz looked after
putting the stuff into the jars. He had
very attractive labels printed. He
had his own ideas about advertising.
He put his name in large letters on
his labels and brought out prominent
ly the fact that the preserves were
homemade, were OF the purest Of
goods and prepared with the greatest
Of care. When he had a pretty fair
stock on hand he went out through
the town to sell them. Some he placed
in grocery stores, the grocers taking
them without any risk to themselves.
They were only to pay when they made
sales. After he had made a fair dis
tribution through the grocers he went
from house to house. 1t was slow. te-
dious and dispiriting work. Many
time he had the door slammed In his
face. Occasionally he had dog
sicked on him.
Once in a while he made sale.
Many night he returned home utter
ly worn out from carrying his samples
mile after mile through the city
streets. Sometimes people bought
from him and promised to pay at the
end of the week, and when he went
for his money he was put off with
some excuse or laughed at for his
folly. He made lots of mistakes and
once or twice lost heart, but his moth
er never did Shultz and the two wom-
en- discussed affairs every night and
planned the program for the next day.
The women never complained, no mat
ter how many hours they put in over
the pots or how tired and worn they
were from the days labor. The old
woman was a philosopher. For every
situation she had a homely proverb.
Nine times out Of ten it was a cheer
full one.
Sales Began to Grow.
Shultz kept books as carefully as
if he were doing large business. For
the first four months there was
loss. The bad debts he had made
more than overbalanced the small
profit that should have been his. Two
months later there was little to the
credit side of the ledger. The sales
in the stores began to pick up, for
some people began to see virtue in
Shultz' preserves The young man
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1915-01-08

went to printer and had a heart-to-
heart talk with him. AS a result,
he got credit for some advertising
matter that was sent into many homes.
He watched the store sales carefully,
to note the effect 1t was gratifying.
A little later, when he made some good
collections, he did a daring thing. He
spent all his ready money in display
advertising in the home papers. In
each advertisement he told where his
goods were for sale, and he was not
stingy in the amount of black type he
gave to the retailers. The grocers
were pleased with this, and some OF
them went out Of their way to push
his product.
When the year closed Shultz had to
do some hard scratching to meet his
bills with the baker, the butcher, the
landlord, the drygoods man and the
others who had trusted him, but he
was able to pay every cent The wom-
en- were hard-pushed to make up all
the stuff for which he had orders, so
as soon as he could with safety he en-
gagged two girls to help them. He had
been compelled to pay cash for all
his supplies and make trips into the
country to buy his fruits and vegeta-
bles. AS his orders became larger the
farmers took confidence and were sat
isfied with monthly payments. Before
the second year closed his business
outgrew his home. He had to rent a
little building and hire more hands.
His wife and mother supervised the
factory. They were scrupulously neat,
and SO intensely jealous of the good
name the preserves had won that they
had no hesitation In throwing away
anything that was not perfect. They
inspected every jar before II was sent
out, and watched over the kettles with
care that was remarkable.
Extended His Territory.
Some one suggested to Shultz that
there was a market outside the city
for his goods. He had been thinking
so himself. A bright young man sent

then another travelling man was put
on the road Their success proved
embarrassing. Shukz had to enlarge
his little factory and employ more
hands. That part was simple, but 1t
was not SO easy to obtain supplies.
The farmers Shultz had been patroniz-
ing could furnish so much and no
more. Making purchases in distant
cities was not always satisfactory.
Sometimes the fruits or vegetables
were not in condition, and the addi-
tional freight charges cut into the
profits. To protect himself Shultz first
rented farm or two and devoted all
the land to the supplies he needed.
Later he bought these farms and 9TH
ers.
Success had it's own perils and hand
leaps. Shultz came near being ruined
through the rapidity with which his
business increased, once 1t really be-
gan to expand in earnest Hardly
would he complete one addition to his
factory when another would be need
ed. 1t costs money to build and 1t
takes years to get 1t back. The inter-
ruptions and the changes consequent
upon interminable rebuilding or ex-
tending Of factory affect the econom-
ical operation of a plant and the eff
cheney of the organization. Shultz
would have been pleased to take
breathing spell, but competitors,
aroused by his growth, were aggres-
sive. He had to go on or he would
lose the trade he had been spending
good money to gain. And to 60 on
he had to do some elaborate financing
that entailed the borrowing of sum
that would have seemed staggering
to him few years before.
