SMASHED OLD SAYING,
"IT CAN'T BE DONE
George White Knew Things Could Be
And He Made Millions

eff George R. White set out to do
thing he was pretty sure to come
through, despite objections on the part
of every expert in the way" said one
of his close friends in the Boston Post.
In 1864 young White was an Office
boy in an old firm of wholesale drug
gists in Boston. He kept the firms
advertisement scrapbook, but this was
only one of his many duties. He really
was taken in to be trained, later to
take some of the burdens from the
partners shoulders. Still later, he
headed the firm. Boston was the re-
cipient of $7,OOO,OOO gift under the
will of Mr.. White. 1t is the largest
gift of the kind Boston has received.
White was a poor boy, so to speak.
He had mother and sisters to aid in
supporting. He was just an average
boy Of his time. He faithfully kept
at his duties and gradually climbed up
the ladder until, in 1878, he had been
given a small interest in the business.
Then came his big opportunity. His
early keeping of the firms scrapbook
had convinced him of the power of
advertising. His firm had compound
ed medicinal soap that possessed
considerable merit, as well as salve
that old-time doctors found good
enough to prescribe.
Young White became convinced that
if a good name was coined for the
remedies and an effective advertising
campaign was put over, the public
would realize the effectiveness of the
remedies, which would find ready
sale.
In 1889 the firm had grown too big
to be mere partnership and it was
incorporated. White became its logi-
cal head in 1890.
Mr.. White persisted in smashing the
old motto at can't be done," into
the discards. When he bought his
summer home at Manchester he told
his architects he wanted to move into
lit the following summer. He speci-
fled how he wanted it remodeled. The
architects threw up hteir hands. He
had wanted the outside to be done in
tapestry brick and limestone. No ex-
pense was to be spared.
"It can't be done," said the archi-
tects. "No possible way"
At this point White stopped them.
He said he was not an architect, but
all his life he had had to get things
done. He had found by experience
that there was way around every
problem. Did they want him to tell
them how to do it?
Confident that White could not show
the way out, they replied they would
like suggestions.

the house, put in portable steam boil.
