And what greater joy can man eXperl- ence on this earth than to hear his "otherself" say encouragingly, That's fine, old man; keep it up, you're doing nobly"
 . J. w. Connors had an uphill struggle, but he got to the top, like a locomobile takes a steep hill on high speed-only the locomobile never struggles.
 These stories of success all read easy they roll off the tongue.
 Take a little honesty, some brains, right proportion of hard work, shake we'll before using and To, you have success.
 That seems to be the formula
 But there is no formula-there is no recipe.
 Schwab couldn't have told us how he "did it' to save his life.
 Success, like art, seems to ooze from a mans finger tips.
 You say it's God-given energy? Per haps it is-let it go at that.
 Eleven years ago 1 remember how this boy started.
 Norwich was his first battle ground. He soon realized his limitation there.
 Then for seven years he was connect ed with Hollander's of Hartford. He re- ceived a good schooling there.
 Then he again became restless, and like Alexander, sighed for new worlds to conquer.
 Bridgeport loomed large on his hori- zon of possibilities. Thinking is acting with Jim" so he soon had d store of his own, at 1154 Main street, in Bridgeport. That was August, 1915.
 It wasn't long before he saw the need of supplying the wants of the commun- ity in another section of Bridgeport.
 When the gong sounded for the sec ond round, he came out of his corner with rush and in September, 1916, open ed his second store at 1870 State Street
 His success was phenomenal It took no microscope to see it; he didn't 'back away" He didn't stall didn't "clinch" didn't have to apologize for his busi- ness methods. Here was business that caught the breeze of public favor from the very jump. Here was success made
