President. Capital National Bank.
The elements entering into my life are SINH
lar To those OF most men who are accounted
successful.
Work and save" tells the whole story
There are. OF course, many other elements
that enter into the situation with more or less
emphass according TO what success means
take 1t that success means getting ahead In the
world materially establishing a reputation az
to character and patriotism nnd maintaining
the confidence OF ones neghpors and asso-
ciates.
ot course. the typically successful man has
worked. lie never kept eye on the clock
whether working for himself or others The
man who is afraid OF work. or looks upon It
as anything other than - pleasure will not 20
very far. The most successful are those who
have worked regardless OF hours, or conditions
by the above assertion I do not mean A
should be all work and no play on the CON
trary the well balanced ind dual needs n GER
tain amount OF recreation. Sut the recreation
should be taken along health giving lines nv
own tastes have dictated travel and out DOR
life such as hunting fishing etc
The typlcally successful man also saves M
matter what hne OF endeavor. one must save
something OF HIS earnings There has not been
own way that tfNhave not been better 9ff in
worldly goods sat the end OF the wear tMn i I
was al the beginning.
Nowadays when young man comes 10 u
bank to ask for credit. one OF the most potent
factors In his consideration by the bank OH
cials Is what ne has saved, III a man does NOT
acquire habits OF thrift early ne does not often
acquire them later. Many young men who 40
into business for themselves break down They
start well. commence to make money and then
instead OF being guarded In their expenditures
Immediately think they have solved the prob
lem OF being successful. and acquire extensive
habits, spend six dollars when they are MAX
ing five and their end Is Inevitable. 1t Is much
harder Tor "A young man TO get his second on.
portunity than II was the first. There is the
instructive feeling on the part of those with
whoin he GENES Into contact that he had the
chance and failed and that he would do so
again II the opportunity presented itself
In my younger days l worked very long hours
when attending to business and / determined
that must have more at the end OF any year
than ! mad at the beginning The following
out OF that policy confirmed habits OF thrift
No money was ever wiled me. but on the con-
trary have had to help some relatives who
were not well fixed one OF my biggest helps
when was young man. was the counsel OF
older men who had been successful and TO
whom could go for disinterested advice, one
OF these men was my banker and while on the
street many people called him "tightwad" hut
iouna his counsel invaluable, and later when
got into the position where I could use a
great deal OF money never had to ask twice
TOR any sum TO assist me, OF course people
said mat he always got interest on the money,
etc. out there was much more than the mere
interest paying proposition In the natter Tor IL
ne had not had confidence in my character and
IN my ability he would not have assisted me To
the extent he did and his assistance put me
shead much faster than conld Nave gone with
out such ala Being a banker myself now
realize to what extent without pkeconcelyed
Opinions or mature thought on the subject l
pursued the best possible course to be sue
cessful.
As said In the beginning there is ne,hinr
except the commonplace in the above but any
young man who follows out such a proRra m
Tor himself Is going to be successful and the
extent OF his success viii depend upon the de-
