True Stories of Successful Women
BY Edith Moriarty

Find something you have that
somebody else needs and them
proceed to sell it to him, Is the
advice often given by men who have
succeeded in. business, and it was
that very advice which Vera Taneck
unknowingly followed.
Vera is the oldest Of the five girls
in the Tencek family. Her father is
an unskilled laborer and her mother
is one of those high financiers who,
no matter how small the family purse
may be, manages in some unaccount-
able way to make it reach.
When Vera finished the grade
school she was fourteen years old
and at that youthful period in her
life she started on her business ca
reer. She was hired as an errand
girl by large dress-trimming fac
tory.
Made 81 Week
Her pay envelope held all Of four
dollars each Saturday night, that IS
providing she was not locked for be-
ing late. For three years she worked
in the trimming factory and during
that time she was given many differ
ent tasks.
While still errand girl she learned
many things about the business and
came in contact with more Of the
processes than most Of the girls. Then
she was tried out at different small
tasks, such as addressing bills, and
making records of orders and doing
other clerical work by hand which is
now done by machine. The last job
which was given her was that Of sort
er.
She sat at a table all day long and
sorted trimmings into piles accord
ing to colors and kind. For this work
she was getting eight dollars a week.
Then she had some trouble with her
foreman and she was blamed for an
error which cost the firm a large
amount of money. She felt the firm
was unjust to her and she left. Her
employer later discovered that she
was blamless and he asked Vera to
take her old position back, but she
refused.
Vera was at loss as to what to
try next and as she knew more about
factories and factory people than
anything else she applied for work
at large cloak and suit firm factory
She was hired by this firm and
again was made a sorter and again
was paid eight dollars a week. To an
outsider there seemed to be nothing
ahead for her because the factory
was one Of the largest in the coun
rty, employing over a thousand girls
and there seemed to be no good posi-
tons in line for girl Of Vera's limited
ability.
For three years she did nothing but
sort Innings and the like, starting al
seven-thirty in the morning and work
Ing until flve-thirty at night, At the
end of the three years she was getting
fifteen dollars week and although
she was by far the best sorter and the
quickest there was still no future a
head of her.
Then one day the thatcher" was
Ill and they wanted some one to take
her place for the day. Vera was

Don't Spoil Your Hair

prepared shampoos contain to much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an

out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.

trimmings In the trimming factory and
her experience with sorting colors in
ooth factories was the other reason
why she was the best person to take
the "matchers" place
Inc hatcher never came back and
after two weeks on her new job it
would have made no difference to
Vera If she had come back, for the
head Of the department found that
Vera Tancek had the one essential
needful for matching which few people
have. She was not color-blind
Within year she had climbed from
fifteen dollars a week to thirty-five
Later the entire department was given
over to her charge and her knowledge
of dress trimmings gathered when she
was four-dollar a week errand girl
was invaluable to her.
The firm which was known from
coast to coast advertised the fact that
expert attention was given to such de-
! tails as matching, trimming, lining and
buttons on their perfectly tailored
suits.
Their advertising brought results
! and it brought certain results they
were not looking for. Other factories
heard of Vera and she had some offers
of more money. Her employers de.
cided that having made such a find
they would keep it for themselves and
| they raised her salary to meet the
! outside offers.
Today she is twenty-five years old
and earning fifty dollars a week and
that is probably far from her limit
And surely it is success when a girl OF
twenty-five who started to work with
no training climbs to fifty dollars a
week from a mere four dollars, even
though the reason is because she has
absolutely no trace of color-blind
ness"
