Give Your Statesmen Automobiles

II HAVE been with my present employer
Just six months as chief accountant
and cashier. We employed some
twenty statesmen on salaries to cover the
city alone, and we had fairly prosperous
business. Several times, however, it had
occurred to me that, in the first place,
some of the men were not putting in all
their time; and, second, that, no matter
if they were doing the best possible, we
could cover the territory with less than
half the force, and still get more business,
by furnishing each salesman with small
runabout and increasing his territory.
l made this suggestion to the boss,
with the request that he allow me to spend
two days in the territory of each man l
had spotted as possible shirk. He adj
vised me to try it-and | did, with the
result that located some eleven loafers,
who were "laid off" forthwith. Six of the
best remaining salesmen We're supplied
with cars, and to-day those six are
taking care of the entire city and adjoin-
ing towns, and bringing in three times as
much business as twenty did formerly.
l am sales manager, and have doubled
my former salary as cashier.

He Put Life into Dead Capital

TIME wholesale silk house in which |
was employed as a stock clerk carried,
among many fabrics, a line of fancy
silks that had long since gone out of
style, and that represented dead capital
of about $4,000. The firm calculated
selling these goods at big loss.
| asked permission of the manager to
send samples of this silk to the shoe and
neckwear manufacturers in different parts
of the country-two trades that we had
never catered to before. l received this
permission, on condition that it would
not interfere with my other work.
The first twenty-five letters brought
5000 worth of business, and inside of two
months time had disposed of the entire
lot, having received many recorders. This

laxness of the order clerk. He had been
holding back the orders and making them
all out after Bpm suggested that they
be sent through Immediately upon exc
cution; and the rush at the end of the
day soon became much less violent.
next suggested that, as the bookkeep-
ers' work was light in the afternoon, one
bookkeeper could shift over and take the
place of blotter clerk when the latter's
work was heaviest; l took over this work
myself. This arrangement made it pos
sible to dispense with one of the blotter
clerks, a saving of $22 week. Then per-
suaded one of the bookkeepers to handle
the mail in the late afternoon. In this
he took the place of two small boys who
had received together SIG week. He
received an additional SIS and handled
the work more efficiently. I found that
the two stenographers could alternately
take the place Of the filing clerk in their
spare time in the morning, and thus save
$40 week. In other words, redistri-
button of the work Of the department
meant saving Of four unnecessary sal
aries, amounting in all to $43 week.
The firm had been paying about SIS
week for supper money to clerks work.
ing after P. M. With the elimination
of the two boys in the mailing depart
ment and the general speeding up all
around, this expenditure was dispensed
with and everybody was happier.

The Idea that Got Him His Wife

r WAS one of three linotype operators
on a small city newspaper, each of us
- receiving Sl5 week. Our repeated
appeals for an increase in salary had been
refused by the proprietor because the limo
type operators did not turn out as much
work as operators in larger cities. l
greatly desired a raise, as the girl l was
engaged to said she would not marry me
until was earning $25 week.
Then the idea struck me to go to u
larger city and investigate how the oper-
ators could turn out so much more work
than | could / went to Buffalo, and in
the newspaper offices found that only
typewritten copy was given to the limo
type operators, who were thus saved the
time it would have taken to study out
written copy
Returning home, l suggested to the
proprietor of the newspaper that he pro-
vide his two reporters with typewriters
and thus get big increase in production
from his three linotype operators. He
could not see it.
l purchased typewriter, and in six
months was proficient. Then ! offered
to do the work of the two reporters who
furnished hand-written copy for the sal
ary the proprietor was paying one of them
il the linotype operators did not increase
their output at least one third. If the
operators made the increase he was to pay
me $25 a week. The newspaper owner
accepted the proposition.
The plan worked out my way. l Sc
cured my $25 week and my wife. While
reporting came in contact with the owner

simple method got me a raise of So
week, and later resulted in the develop
ment of tie-silk and shoe-cloth depart
ment in which hold good position to-
day as salesman, having in one year
more than doubled my salary.

Stopping the Company's Leak
II WORK for a large Eastern railroad
whose plant covers many acres of land
in New Jersey. The company em-
ploys what it calls an @outside material
man." who takes charge of all the
iron, steel, wheels, axles, and all the
other heavy materials used in the re-
pairing of cars and locomotives. This
man is supposed to keep an accurate
account of all materials disbursed, and
to get the proper tickets for them, so
that the material may be charged to
covered that there was no way to check
this mans reports, and also that at
nearly every inventory the account was
short.
Various schemes had been employed to
stop this leakage, but none was entirely
successful. suggested to the store
keeper, one day, that the outside man
keep a careful record in a ledger of the
materials disbursed, and send the charge
tickets to the office / was in, where l
would have the weights verified and take
record Of the materials myself. At the
end of each month l would take his led
ger and compare it with mine. When
ever there was shortage, it would be an
easy matter to get record of what had
been put on each car or engine passing
through the shops. If there was any,
thing on this record that 1 did not have
charge for, could then show the fore
man where he had used the material but
had not given charge ticket to cover.
This plan is working so well that there
is now clear record and no shortages,
and consequently on the 1st of January
received a raise.

rated economies which will result in
saving of about $1,000 year, and have

keepers. In tho same large room were
two blotter clerks, a statistical and filing
clerk, two mailing clerks, and two ste

work of the bookkeepers was heavy in
the morning and light after $3.50 p. NJ.
except at the end of the month. | also
saw that the blotter clerks, who figure
the purchases and sales, were quite in
active until after the close of the stock
market, when they were rushed to death.
1t was evident that, for some reason, a
great amount Of work was held up and
put through after the close Of the mar
ket. resolved to remedy that, and
soon found that it was caused by the

Money in Empty Boxes

NTY job is in a retail shoe store. Each
V month we paid out ten dollars to
have thousands of old paper boxes
carted away. suggested to my employer
that he get paper baler. He did-and
sold the waste paper and boxes to whole
sale paper dealers for $12. Thus he
made S12 and saved $40. Result-gain
of S22 month.
We formerly kept all our shoes in the
store, and were crowded for room. We
were about to move to another store,
where we should have had to pay S35
more rent month. suggested that we
put all our surplus shoes in our capacious
basement, keeping only one pair of size
upstairs. 1t saved room-and $35 a
month in unnecessary rent
A few minor suggestions added to
these, and one Saturday night l found
a material increase in the size of my
envelop. Shoe Clerk.

This Man Invented Something

u
WTHEN l was nineteen years old and
w getting 81 day, it was part OF
my work to line (or babbitt) bear
ings for railroad cars.
The New York Central Railroad was
having trouble with the bearings in the
cars used on the Empire State Express,
owing to the great speed at which the
trains were run. The bearings that the
axles revolve in. and which bear the weight
of the car, would get hot, and frequently
would burn out and have to be replaced
during the trip. The best mechanics and
engineers had worked on the problem and
had tried many things; but, so far, all
had failed.
discovered that a composition Of lead
and block tin would give much better re-
suits than anything so far tested. When
l told the manager of my discovery, he
ordered trial made of it. The results
were satisfactory. The composition was
adopted at once, and l soon got a raise in
salary. But the important point to me
was that this incident gave me confidence
in myself and proved that there is q
chance to succeed, no matter who has
tried and failed. am now conducting
successful business OF my own.

typewriting for the hotel patrons. l
jumped at the chance, and spent two
hours each evening at the hotel taking
the letters of travelling men. This aver
aged me from S12 to SIS week, bringing
my salary up to $40.
My wife was economical, and in two
years we laid by $1,000. While attend
ing the foreclosure sale of house in my
capacity as reporter, saw my opportu-
nifty and bid it in at very low price. 1t
was two-family house, and in three
years we had paid for it from the rent of
half of it and the saving from my salary.
We now have another two-family house
which we are rapidly paying for.
Linotype Operator.
This Man Knew Human Nature
nNE day l got orders from my en-
ployer-I work for firm of roofing
contractors-to go with my men and
help another foreman and his men COM
plete house they had been working on
for a week. The house was to be COM
pleted that day if possible. A barn was
to be shingled too, but that was to be
left for the following week.
Arriving at the house with my men,
saw that by little extra effort we could
complete both the house and the barn.
When | mentioned this fact to the other
foreman, his answer was that it would be
impossible. l called the contractor and
asked him if he would allow all the men
full day if we completed both the house
and barn, regardless of what time we got
through. He consented, and this is what
came of it:
| told the men that all would receive a
full ten hours pay, regardless Of the time
we got through, if we completed both
house and barn. Dividing the men so as
to make the best headway, started in,
and we worked our best. The job was
finished by two-thirty. Both the men

He Got His Raise through Faith

MY first raise in salary came when I
V had launched an extensive building
program for certain congrega-
ton. My previous salary had been
S54 1925 month, and, owing to my
faith in undertaking the building of an
$4,000 church with no great financial
backing in sight, one member made mo-
ton that the pastors salary be increased
to $55 per month. The motion was
passed. We built the church and bought
a parsonage besides.
My last raise came when the subject
OF the parsonage was broached. We could
purchase an old house next door to the
church for a reasonable price; but our
treasury was empty. was in favor Of
buying the property, and subscribed per-
sonally $500 toward the house, this sum
to be paid in instalments. This action
on my part stimulated the members to
such degree that the house was pur-
chased. Before, had to pay rent and
was troubled: now have free house,
and am happy. This consider my last
raise in salary, for it saves me $24O every
year. Pastor.
