Eddie Rickenbacher's Boyhood
and His "Victory"
Kitten

Ida Rose McCabe interviewed
Eddie Rickenbacher's mother the
other day and obtained the story of
his early struggles for the April
number OF St. Nicholas.
She writes in part, as follows:
HE was in the seventh reader and
in his fourteenth year when his
father died. Then he quit school to
help me- said Eddie's mother.
His first job was in \ marble
yard Is helper to q tombstone
maker. The turning point in the
boyhood OF Americas premier ace
came the first time he saw an auto
mobile, in the street of his native
town, Columbia, o.
before his fifteenth birthday he
had worked in four garages. From
the fourth garage Eddie passed to
the payroll Of a one time world ia
nous. carriage company. now turned
to the manufacture of automobiles.
He started in as general chore boy,
and rapidly worked UP, through re-
pairing, erecting, and racing, to
sslesmanship. -.
Gle had not been there long when
he was dismissed for breaking one
of the company's rules. Smarting
under what he believed to be in
justice, Eddie appealed directly to
the president of the company, and
was sent back to his job. That was
too much for the foreman. Either
he or the cub must go. Eddie was
personally conducted to the front
door. Undaunted, he went round to
the back door. and was put to work
in the sales department. as DEM
onstrator.
at was in this department that the
motor racer, Eddie Rickenbacher,
was born.

battlefronts was too tame for this
daring driver, clean and square in
his morals ~ In his sporting tactics.
