UCCESSFUL MEN
ANDREW CARNEGIE

The first money Andrew Carnegie
earned was s1.2O for a weeks work as
"bobbln boy" in a Cotton Mill He was
then twelve years old, but soon became
a messenger boy in a telegraph office at
$3.50 per week. When in a few months
more he was receiving $500 a month as
telegraph operator, he says he thought
the pinnacle of fortune had been reached
for him. Shortly afterwards, on $500 a
month he invests S5OO.0O in ten shares
of Adams Express Co. stock which paid
him a dividend of $1,000 a month This
proved his thrift and laid the foundation
for him to speak in after years with
authority upon this question.
"As a rule" he says, "you win find
that the saving man is a temperate man,
a good husband, father and a peaceful,
law w-abiding citizen. Nor need the saw
ing be great. Ii is surprising how little
it takes TO provide for the real necessities
of life A little home paid for and a few
hundred pounds, a very few, make al
the difference. These are more easily
acquired by frugal people than You might
suppose. Great wealth IS quite another
and far less desirable matter" He says,
"To die rich is to die disgraced."
