A Girl Who Established A Business

Against the advice of her friends a
girl went to California four years ago
to engage in some business-she did
not know what. Today she is the pres
ident of large manufacturing COM
pany that does an annual business of
approximately S750,OOO. That COM
pany she founded herself!
When Miss June Rand arrived at
Los Angeles her capital, says writer
in System, was slightly less than five
dollars. She invested two cents in a
newspaper and looked in the advertise
ments. None of them offered work
that appealed to her; so she went home
and got out her sewing basket.
A neighbor who called admired a
Bingham apron that Miss Rand had just
made and bought it from her. Then
Miss Rand decided to go into the bus
mess of making aprons.
At first she did all the stitching by
hand, but after few days she rented
a sewing machine and two empty apple
boxes that she bought for five cents
apiece, made up the whole Of the equip
ment with which she began. She did
her cutting on the floor.
Miss Rand made a half dozen aprons
Tutt,iig one of them on. she went to
downtown dry-goods store and hunt
ed up the buyer. dts a new kind OF
apron," explained Miss Rand. 81 made
it. Did you ever see an apron like it
before ?"
The buyer admitted that he had never
had seen one like it,
"Supposng woman does have to do
her own housework," argued Miss
Rand, as that any reason whey she
must 60 around looking like frump?"
The buyer grinned at the pretty little
brown-eyed girl. He thought that she
was funny, too, but he did not care to
say so. brilliantly Miss Rand went
home with a small order.
The aprons sold quickly; soon tn
store ordered more Of them.
But Miss Rand needed more money
with which to carry on the business
and after a great deal Of hard work she
found it. She incorporated the bus
mess and made herself president Of the
company. Today it has spacious quar-
tiers, runs five hundred power machines
employs more than six hundred per-
sons ana is growing steadily.

Housekeeping Plant Runs On Water
From Kitchen Tap.

The power supplied by the water
from house faucet is sufficient to drive
a small dynamo by means of new wat
er motor. Of about u hp., recently de-
veloped by noted French scientist and
inventor In his city home the motor
installation is permanently attached
to the tap, and power is generated every
time water is drawn for any Of the my
Rad household purposes. Surplus en-
ergy, generated during the day, is stored
in battery, and later drawn upon to
supply 20 incandescent bulbs of IS to
20 candlepower. says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine in an illustrated article
in the March issue.
