ESSFUL MEN
HORACE BRIGHAM CLAFLIN.

The most conspicuous characteristic OF
this Merchant Prince was his ability to
estimate the qualities of other men, He
had courageous and genial personality.
Mr. Claflin disposed of his business at
Worcester, Mass, in the early '4Os for
$4,000 and went to New York City, where
his firm has gained a place among the
worlds foremost Dry Goods Houses
. The fundamental principle OF Mr.. Claf-
inns gigantic business was liberality with
respect to profits In one instance, when
a salesman made an extra large profit on
a sale, Mr. Claflin reproved him, on the
allowable.
This incident illustrates the character
OF the man who preferred to sacrifice
profit rather than to depart from a cardi-
ma. principle.
It was his habit TO leave his home on
New Years Day for a long walk. Where
he went no one knew. He always left
the house with his hat on and II was dis
covered that it was filled with checks OF
small denominations. These he distrib-
uted while on his walk. No one knows to
whom or where.
When It is recalled that Mr.. Claflln
started in business with cash capital OF
N,OOo, his career shows the value OF
qualities which are not customarily COM
puteQ IN dollars and cents.
