THE GILBERT GIFTS

TIME gifts of thousands of dollars
to the Harrisburg Public Library,
the Harrisburg Academy and the
Harrisburg Hospital by Mrs. Lyman D.
Gilbert in memory of her departed
husband should be an incentive to
scores of other Harrisburg people.
These Gilbert bequests, made in con-
formity with the wishes of Mr.. Gilbert
before his death, have been distributed
among worthy and at all times needy
institutions. The academy. the library
and the hospital all occupy their places
of extreme usefulness in the COM
munity. The city is growing and the
demands made upon them are grow
ing also. They need thousands of
dollars more if they are to increase
their activities to meet the needs that
face them. There are other institutions,
also. which are doing good work under
difficulties largely due to lack of funds.
They form a wide field for private
beneficence and it is believed that
many of them have been remembered
in wills that have been drawn in recent
years.
The other day the Telegraph pub
lished an illustrated article on the
great work Frank H. Buhl. of Sharon,
has done and is doing in that town.
Mr.. Buhl and his father made great
fortunes in Sharon and they have felt
it their duty to share their earnings
with their fellow-citizens. Mr.. Buhl
has been generous to a point that has
made Sharon one of the most delight
full places in the western part of the
State. He has set an example that
ought to be followed by the possessors
of great fortunes in Harrisburg. Doubt
less Mr.. Buhl is getting much more
pleasure out of his money so invested
than he would have found possible in
the contemplation of bundles of in
terest-bearing bonds, the earnings OF
which he did not need for his own
uses.

, him that he relinquished his Indiana
opening and settled down west of the
Mississippi
With headquarters in Denver, and a,
corps of agents covering the contiguous
States, his commissions totaled SIS. 900
that year. This record caused a stir
at the home office. He was promptly
appointed inspector of agencies for
the West at salary of $4,000 per
annum. He made good.
Then came rapid promotions. He
became third vice-president at S25,-
600 year, then was placed upon the
board of trustees; later became sec
ond vice-president at S35, 900 per year;
still later, chairman of the finance
committee at $4,000 per year, and,
finally, first vice. president.
Some years later, at the urgent So
licitation of ]. P. Morgan, he accept
ed partnership in the great banking
concern. Here he developed his con-
ceptions regarding reconciling the
seemingly insuperable differences
existing between capital and labor. AS
a result of this policy came profit
sharing insurance, sick benefits, old
age pensions, service bonuses, sale of
stock to employees at less than its mar
ket value, and other Innovations
In 1910, Perkins retired from J.
P. Morgan Co. and has since devoted
his time to solving the industrial and
economic problems which confront the
nation.

HOW G. w. PERKINS GOT A START

TN 1879 George w. Perkins, who
spoke to-day before the Harrisburg
= Chamber of Commerce, was earn
ing sc a week as office boy in the Chi
cago office of the New York Life In
surance Company. Twelve years lat
er, at the age of 30, he was third vice.
president of the company, at salary
of S25, 900 per year.
Here is just one little episode that
throws some light on the causes of his
rapid rise. One snowy night, the young
insurance solicitor went out to call on
some prospects at a country flour mill.
The storm was raging outside; the
miller, his brother and son could not
escape the young mans canvass. They
were tough prospects but Perkins
hammered away. Finally, by offering
to accept their notes as payment for
premiums, he induced them to take
out insurance.
Then he recalled the fact that ear
lier in the evening he had noticed his
victims putting away money in the
safe. It didn't require much argu-
ment to persuade them that they could
save money by disseminating their
notes on the spot. Perkins left with
his pockets full of cash.
Later, Perkins accepted the State
agency for Indiana, at $4,000 a year
Before being formally installed in this
position, he went out to Kansas to wind
up some of his fathers business af-
! fairs. The field looked so good tc
