two additional horses. He was thrown in
contact continually with storage ware
houses, and this business looked good, so
he rented small quarters for ten dollars
month, and presently larger quarters for
forty dollars. Thus his warehouse bust
ness grew, until he bought leasehold of
the building in which he lived, and on the
rear of the lot built five-story storage
establishment for household goods. Mean
while he had been adding to his equip
ment of vans and horses.
Within ten years Schramm erected
nine-story fireproof building, the sale Of
his other building helping him to finance
the deal. Three years later he put up
second nine-story building. Together
these structures represent several hundred
thousand dollars; and third nine-story
building has gone up recently. Many
motor-trucks now constitute part of the
equipment.
Mr.. Schramm to-day is president of this
large enterprise. His success seems to me
an excellent example for young men who
think they have no opportunity.

brarched out by
retiring the little
old wagon and
buying a van and
another horse.
But, instead of
going ahead with
out any plan, he
resolved to live
on the profits of
one horse and
half the van, and
to put the addi-
tional profits into
more equipment.
In another year

small candy factory in New
York owned by a man named
Loft; but George w. Loft, his
son, made up his mind at
once that no panic could kill
the public's appetite for candy.
Somehow, disaster seems to
stir up some mems energies
and ambitions; they will not
be downed.
George Loft had no money
whatever, but he borrowed
two hundred dollars on his
household furniture. Then
he got three hundred and
fifty dollars on his fathers life
insurance, and found a partner
who had five hundred and fifty
dollars in cash. Thus they
had eleven hundred dollars.
They rented a store on Bar

away with the money to get more ma
terial. But they never borrowed any
money except that first half of their capt.
tai. The rigid economies, as related by
MIR. Loft to-day, both in the store and in
his home, contributed to notable success;
but consistent publicity had still more to
do with it. Good craftsmanship was an
other factor, and Mr.. Loft-who is now
United States Congressman-organiz
classes in craftsmanship for his force, keep
ing a daily record of each sales-person's
sales.
Recently the thirteenth Loft store was
opened. For all these stores there is a
factory that turns out sweets by the tens
of tons every day. On general principles,
it is not good policy for men to borrow
capital to start in business; but here is an
instance where the rule was broken sue

Louis Schramm Landed with
Three Dollars
IN New York also lives Louis Schramm,
= who came to America twenty-odd years
ago at the age of seventeen. He had three
dollars in his pocket when he landed. The
first job he got was in woodward, max
ing up bundles of kindling-wood at four
dollars and half week. Here he re-
manned for nine months, and when he
quit he was earning ten dollars week.
Afterward he worked in various wood
yards, ice-houses, and restaurants. In six
years he saved three hundred dollars.
Like other young men, Schramm was
dissatisfied with his opportunities, and
was always looking for way out. Every
night he bought a newspaper and read the
advertisements, and one evening he found
little classified "ad' offering for sale Il
small express business at Eighth Avenue
and Twentieth Street. Next day he
bought it with his three hundred dollars,
securing, in return, a small ground-foor

original idea to render public service. He
saw his chance in providing not a general
bill of fare, but certain foods that could
be served with profit to the restaurant
and at moderate prices to the people. He
would not handle foods on which he must
lose money, and he would not serve in
ferior foods so that he might make money
on them. Moreover, he established an
extraordinary discipline to maintain his
creed of cleanliness.
1t was an idea that started this
business going. Almost any form Of pub
lie service, if it really is service to the
public, is apt to be prolific in ideas.
George Boldt Was Bell-Boy
ONCE more draw on Europe for an

came from Austria as a youth, and found
a place us bell-boy in New York hotel.
His advancement was rapid and he went
to Philadelphia to manage club. Here
he saved his money-thc old story, you
see-and started high-class restaurant.
Then he was able to interest capital in
the old Hotel Bellevue. Following is a
little episode get, not from MIR. Boldt
himself, but from a prominent New York
hotel man who knows him most intimately.

the game. Within recent years wv
thousands of men have started WAE
out for themselves on small cap -x6A
ital and built up large and R
prosperous establishments. How WIN
did they start? WV
Here is the story Of at least a n
few men who started little and
have grown big.
Kresge Began with
Small Capital
A T Bald Mountain, Pennsyl-
vania, there lived boy named
Kresge-about twenty years ago. He
stayed at home on the farm most of the
time until he was twenty years old,
meanwhile teaching in country school.
Then he got job as a clerk in a local
market and grocery.
When he was twenty-one he went up
to Poughkeepsie and attended business
school, and then found employment in a
hardware speciality house at Scranton.
Like most young men, he was glad to get
even small wages, and his forty dollars a
month looked good. After three or four
years of training, he got out on the road
as travelling salesman, going east as far
as Bangor, Maine, and west to Chicago.
Young Kresge saved his money. Here
is an important point. Men do not have
to have large capital in order to get into
business, but thoy do need some capital.
As travelling salesman this young man
earned fair wages, and he tells me that
at the age of thirty he had $500 in the
bank.
Now, it fell to his lot to sell goods to the
Woolworth stores, which at that time were
not we'll known. The Woolworth chain,
l believe, comprised nineteen stores. One
day Kresge sold them nineteen gross of
some tinware speciality. 1t was this and
similar transactions that set him thinking.
Why not have store of that kind him.
self?
He studied the Acknowledgement BUSH
ness from the vantage-point Of whole
sale man. In fact, he had been studying
retail merchandising in general. Most
retail merchants, he perceived, were
neglecting the little items of goods in
favor of the big ones.
Kresge went to Memphis and bought an
interest in Acknowledgement store, where
he proceeded to study his problem in ac-
tual practice. 1t presented serious diff
culties, but he stuck. To-day the s. s.
Kresge Company has more than hum
bred and twenty-five stores scattered
about the country, and is the largest COM
petitor of the great Woolworth Company.
In 1893 a financial panic swept away a
small candy factory in New
York owned by man named
Loft; but George w. Loft, his
son, made up his mind at ~
once that no panic could kill ~

York and look for work.
Naturally, he hunted up
a man from the same
town.. s. bennett,
who kept u downtown
restaurant in the metrop-
oils. Here Sam Childs
got a job.
Presently he felt the
common impulse to go in
to business for himself,
and, with a little money
he had saved, he opened
"Childs' Unique Dairy
Lunch" on Cortlandt
Street. This got along so
nicely that he opened two
more restaurants in tho
downtown district, and in
1896 made his first up
town venture.
To-day there is scarcely
anybody in the Eastern
cities who is not familiar
with the Childs restau-
rants, and they are becom-
ing q feature of middle

Luke McLuke Says

When they have been marie d
for whole twenty-four hours, she
will gaze into his eyes and ask him
if he really and truly loves her as
much as he did when they were
first married.
A man can make fortune with
a common school education. But
his son has to have a college
education to know how to spent it.
A man wouldn't mind his wife
losing her temper if she would lose
it permanently.
When handsome mother has
homely daughter people don't wait
to see the father to know who to
blame it on.
One reason why people like a
dog is because a dog will not wag
his tail and pretend to like you and
then bite you as soon as your back
is turned.
When a man does stop to weigh
his words he is surprised how many
of them it takes to tilt the scales
even one-sixteenth of an ounce.
A man can be cross-eyed, bow
legged and have a face like a
mashed-up pumpkin pie. But that
doesn't keep his wife from imagin,
ing that he leads double life
when he is down town.
Some people wonder why the
Lord doesn't come to them for tips
on how to run the Universe.
The reason why father keeps the
clock about an hour and a half
fast is because a woman has to
have some leeway when she has
an appointment and is certain to
leave the house at $50 when she
should leave at 7.
You have to go ahead and prove
single woman is fool. But a
married woman is usually willing
to admit it.
A woman has judgment enough
to get bargain when she is select
ing other things. But it is different
when she is selecting husband.
