that grips the interest and remains

Another Hartman Rises in Transportation
Son of Late Rail King Fast Taking Dominate Place in
 Ocean Shipping

XXYILL the son of E. H. Harri- " man become as dominant a
 figure in the maritime world as his father was in the railroad world?
 This question is already being asked in shipping and financial cir cles in New York, although William Averen Hartman, the son, has been in the shipping business but few years.
 A biographer of the great railroad builder tells the story that when Edward H. Hartman was asked what interested him most in life, he replied, ''Well, think it is to plan some big piece of helpful work that everybody says can't be done and then jump in with both feet" How successful the late Hartman was in doing big pieces of work in the railroad world is, of course, well known.
 Now comes the son into the field of ships, doing what he believes is the best and most important work he can perform, namely, helping to build up ocean transportation under the American flag. In this, W. A. Hartman, who is only thirty years old, is showing such success that al- ready he stands among the leaders in American shipping.
