WITH WHAT YOU HAVE"
How to Succeed, According to Prescrtp-
ton Of Mr.. Schwab
(New York Commercial.

Charles NJ. Sehwab, chairman of the
bethlehem Steel Corporation, has writ
ten book, Succeeding With What
You Have in which he gives young
Americans some pertinent advice born
of his own personal experiences. Mr.
Schwab rose from the ranks and has
promoted others from the ranks, includ-
ing Eugene Grace, now president of the
corporation, who was switching cars in
the yard at Bethlehem eight years ago.
Hard work, loyal service, brains and
thinking arc the prescription for sue
cess which he offers to all.
Hard work and loyal service arc al
ways rewarded, but brains are needed
to reach the top of the ladder. Too
many young men, otherwise well
equipped for the battle Of life, either
lack or do not use the power of con
centrated thought. Mr.. Schwab says
the man who attracts attention is the
man who is thinking all the time and
expressing himself in little ways, and
not the man who tries to dazzle his
employer by doing the theatrical Oh
spectacular. There is another side to
this. Some employers and men who
'Aii AiSh NACtutlFC pOOAIAoho laws
lack ability to judge and pick the right
man for the job, and the theatrical fel
low sometimes thrusts himself III
where he does not belong. In such
cases the business is usually failure.
/ Every great success in enterprises IL
which large numbers of men are EN-
ployed has been based on the ability
of the man at the top to choose the
right men. No man can accomplish
much outside of the learned profession
if he tries to do everything or lool
after everything himself The presi
dent of railroad or large industrial
company must trust others, and tn
business usually succeeds in proportio
to the wisdom displayed in pickin
men. When man employs hundred
or thousands of workmen and make
a profit on the work everyone of theI
does he grows rich very fast, but tn
larger the undertaking the more impo'
tant the organization becomes. Raj
roads and well-established industrie
have gone into bankruptcy because tn
management fell into weak or eareles
hands.
John D. Rockefeller and Andre
Carnegie. in their active days, di
played this ability to pick men to
