REWARD FOR IS YEARS, WORK.
Enzabeth City independently


From an advertisement of a success
[ful correspondence school, appearing
In the current issue of the American
Review of Reviews, I have dug out the
following truth.
success usually begins at the age of
fforty1fve-jobs are apt to end there:
The ordinary business v~irtuesAwill.
Hcarrya man over the searlYstages of
q career. Loyalty, diligence and in.
.tell1gence wins promotion upatos thirty
but not at forty-five. At that age a
man must have everything or he has
nothing. The ladder of promotion is
really aamoving staircase-when Won.

amos any young man can hold a
job-but Is he good enough for the
next one? Will. theanext Job be the
top of the moving stairway?
Is re acquiring a grasp Of the funda-
mental principles of the business? ?
VIII he at forty or forty-five, be ready
TO take hold of bigger work and be-
come a leader-or will he get on?
A thing has to be painfully true to
make good advertising copy. Experts
wnetwrite the advertisements that are
printed in high price magazines aoid
making any statement that a reader
is not apt to accept as a whole truth.
And so when an advertising writer
makes copy Of the great economic
truth that the man dependent upon a
Job for his existence in this country
Is inthe down and out class al the
age of45. that truth must be so start
ltngly real that the most mediocre in
tellect accepts It without question.
The advertisement from which /
quote goes, on to advise young men
to get out OF the every day job class
and acquire a business: or professional
training as q sure means to prosper
ity after the age Of IS.
The advertisement is. Sfazeniy
frank. It has no relief whatever for
the million Of poor devils. who do the
actual necessary work of the world.
The man who plows, digs, saws, ham,
mers, drives; the man who sows,
spins, weaves, builds; the man who
creates all the material wealth Of the
world must go on and on until he Is
IS years old and find himself then and
there stranded, the best part OF hfB
life behind him and only poverty ahead
Of him.
An honest, God fearing, nard work
ing old man tolls In season and out OF
season all the years OF his life. He
denies himself every luxury and many
necessities Of life. BY. dint of over
work and self denial he sends a pes
tie headed son OF to a one horse col
lege. The pestle-headed son gets a
piece of sheep-skin from the oner
horse college and with this passport
Il life he. gratis a living on the COM
munity therest Of his days and gets
more money to squander in foolish
ness in a year than his poor old daddy
got for his actual needs from any ten
years Of honest labor.

HOW RAILROADS CAN ADVERTISE

b. A statement issued by J.. A. McCrea.
general manager of the Long Island
Railroad, shows that the publicity
campaign undertaken several months
ago by the road to discourage reck-
less and careless driving. I'VE grade
crossingssha shown excellent results
From June 1 to September L there
was not one fatal automobile accident
at n of the grade crossings. The
railroad handled the heavy traffic OF
the Fourth of July holidays without
an accident.
Stating that the good results obtain
ed from the campaign r to be at
tributed largely to paid publicity, Mr..
McCrea says:
"Our records show that from June
1 to September 1, during the period OF
heaviest traffic on both the highway
and the railroad, there has not been
an accident to an automobile at a
grade crossing which has resulted in
a fatal injury AS a matter Of fact,
there have been but two cases OF au-
tomobiles. being struck. and the in
juries were comparatively trivial.
''This Is very significant, because In
the last five years an average of eight
or nine automobiles have been kill
ed at grade crossing each year due
to reckless driving, and especially
during the summer months. We
hoped to go through this summer
without recording any death at a
grade crossing, but this record was
made impossible in July by the COLI
sion of a motorcyclist with the second
car Of a fast train on a grade Cross
