Talabac of North Grosvenordale. now of Boston, whose progress from the perils of massacre in his birthplace in the Near East only a few years ago to a posi- ton of responsibility with a promi- nent Boston banking firm, is narra- tive of modern American opportunity that is worthy of the attention of any man or woman who believes that op- portunity does not come their way. Mr. Talabac is now in the west attend ing a banking convention. Mir. Du- vert's story of the young mans life is in part. as follows:

Just as We sat at the tables, after the reception, the president announced that Talabac was the sec ond prize winner of the largest in- dividual production out of force of three to four hundred men.
 Ever since, l have met Talabae frequently and we have become very close friends. We have had very long and interesting discussions I have also listened to his life history and I intend to touch upon some of it's high lights and earnestly urge every
