The New York herald., 1921-01-12

He walked back to his Office, i'm
mediately taking up the threads OF
business once more. Mind you, he
had had no luncheon.
About 10 minutes of ) o'clock he
dropped into the Office where / do my
work, and said, II am going into an
important executive conference which
starts at o'clock. / don't know how
long it will last. ] wish you would
please wait for me-"
did wait 1t was s 80 before the
conference ended. Then we went
down to his home on Bridge Street
and had bite to eat which he pre-.
pared himself. 1t developed that Mr.
Doherty had telephoned during the
conference to his man, Charles, that
he wouldn't be home for dinner-that
he could go out for the evening If he
wanted to.
l left him at IL o'clock, and then
he started to do some more work. his
secretary being there to take dicta-
tiOn and instructions as to what 10
do on Tuesday.
I tell you these things because
think they pretty clearly Indicate
what manner Of man Mr.. Doherty Is
There is no doubt about his loving
work, and l know that the 10000
workers in his organization love their
work and go through with their tasks
with the same energy and zeal that
Mr.. Doherty applies to himself.
Neither he nor they have any use
for slackers or shifters. They are all
REAL workers-not make-believe.
You can understand. l think. why
the Doherty organization is one OF
the most useful and constructive
forces in American industry.
Now let me tell you what Mr..
Doherty is scheduled to do to-day. At
the noon hour he will talk 10 the
members of the Advertising Club Of
New York. He will do his best 10
persuade them that they should join
in the National Thrift Movement Just
as intellectually and as patriotical-
ly as they engaged in war work.
These business men--there are
over 1000 members of the club--come
in close contact with heads of big In
dustral groups. and Mr.. Doherty be-
lieves that the Thrift Movement. in
order to take deep root, must get
good start among the workers en-
poyed In the great Industrial plants
OF the country
Tonight at S.:15 Mr.. Doherty will
address the New York Electrical
Society in the auditorium of the
Engineering Societies Building. on
the subject:
"BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND
MODERN IDEAS OF THRIFT"
Mr.. Doherty makes no pretensions
TO being public speaker. but he feels
it to be a supreme duty on his part
TO do all he can to spread the Cos
PEI OF THRIFT. which he regards
ms very vital to the permanent pros
perlty OF the Nation. He Just talks
TO his audiences. but he talks stralgbt-
from-the-shoulder and very convinc-
ingly; they know they have heard
something TO think about very seri-
ously when he has finished talking 10
them.
His one and only ambition is 70
