BUSINESS MEN IN HISTORY
Interesting Question as to Whether 1t
Is Better to De Owner or
Employee.

The main object of life is doubtless
to get something out of it besides
trouble, and so any critical comparison
OF rival methods of earning n living
cannot fail to be Interesting TO all
men. The only ones not affected are
the carefree hobo fitting from place to
place and the wise lad who early in
life took the precautiou to marry the
lovely daughter of the capitalist.
Now, about the matter of running
your own business or working for some
one else on salary and commission. If
we go into history the testimony Is
somewhat conflicting, writes j. n.
Sprague In Sunset. Moses was a sal
aired man for the Pharaoh corpora
ton and did very we'll for himself
On the other hand, our old friend Bis
marck, also salarled man, built up
n wonderful business for his firm, but,
as so often happens, was thrown out
of job when he got along In years.
and the young fellow stepped in and
took over the business.
Among those who went into business
for themselves. Mark Antony did well
and would probably have become head
of the worlds greatest corporation If
he had not got into fast company and
wasted his time on wine suppers,
houseboat parties, and so on.
Alexander the Great, strictly husi-
ness man with no foolishness about
him, in ten years built up such a ire
mendous organization that he fretted
because there were no more good
sized towns where he could establish
branch houses Napoleon, who was In
business for himself, prospered ex-
ceedingly for number of years and
probably would have died rich except
for an unwise second marriage and
the fact that he tried to spread out too
much for his capital. q
We all know the outcome of the
5uriness owned and managed by VIII
liam Hohenzollern. Interested cred
tiers would do well to compare n Dun
or Bradstreet report ON his affairs
made in the spring Of 1914 with his
rating at the present time.

with men who were pursuing some

few who have done it feel that they
