Seriousness and Nerve Is
Chief Stock in Trade,
Boys Say,

ORANGE, N. J., Jan. 26.-Can
millionare's son make good Working
for a living?
"Surest thing, if he takes the job
seriously" says young Frank Whelan.
And if he's got enough nerve"
adds his brother Albert.
Nerve? That's the chief stock in
trade of the Whelan brothers. They
had enough nerve to buck their mil
lionaire father in business competi-
ton.
They've got a chain of five cigar
stores and they're planning more.
Each store is in a battle for business
against units in the chain of 'steen
stores run by their father, Charles
A. Whelan, chairman of the board of
the United Cigar Stores Company.
What does father think? You'll
have to ask dad guess he knows"
said the elder brother. Frank.
Dad" at his New York office, had
nothing TO say; the inference is that
the junior Whelans are padding
their own canoe.
Still in his twenties. Frank got tired
of the law business after qualifying
as a lawyer at Fordham University.
So he got a job as clerk in cigar
and drug store started by his brother
in-law, John Tobin Cassidy, in Orange,
their home town.
Then brother Albert came in and
they formed the Whelan-Cassidy Com
pany and established four more stores
in East Orange, Bloomfield, Ruther-
ford and Railway.
Albert and I worked darned hard
when we launched the business" said
Frank. I'VE got up at 6;30 in the
morning. and still do. We get behind
the counters ourselves. And many

by fact. says Science Service. Men

Why do people fail to believe in us?
Because we fail to believe in our
selves. Why don't they back our ef-
forts? Because we ourselves will not
back them. Why are we forced to
think, act and suffer like every one
else. Because we haven't the courage
to be different We cry out against
timidity. conservatism. suspicion. the
slavish adherence to the same old rut.
But when 1t comes to real action, we,
too. stick in the rut.. t...s.
You can lead almost any sort Of a
life you choose. perform. any feat,
overturn any amount Of tradition and
make new standards In its place IL
you will play the game with yourself.
But you must back your own bets
You mustn't start your crusade and
then drop 1t In disgust because others
doubt you and talk about you. or
course they are going to doubt You
and talk about you. And the more
you succeed, the more they'll sneer
and gossip and fail to understand
you. If you're not willing to pay that
much of a price for your success
you'd better be content to stay a nom
entity.
The favorite whine of the failure is
that he has been ''double-crossed." He
has. He double-crossed himself. He
started out with a great vision and a
