HARRY ii. DUNBAR,
of Aurora. III.

Harry ii. Dunbar set out when q
youth TO acquire the technique and
| philosophy OF successful hotel man.
| agemcnt. and therefore his story
| should have Il deep interest To all PER-
sons who see opportunity in this great
vocation. Mr.. Dunbar is now manag-
| Ing director of the Hotel Aurora. pic
| turesquely located on the upper end
OF an island in the Fox river, yet in
the heart of Aurora's business dis
trict.
Although the son of hotel man,
| he preferred TO get his experience
away from home, and his first job was
in New England summer resort, as
Il food checker.
AS | drew only $50 before the
hotel failed" he says, that was all
the pay | ever received for three
months work.
My immediate ambition was to be
a hotel steward. and TO that end
made notes of everything | did not
fully understand, and asked ques-
tians afterward. One old chef. in par
ticular, took quite liking to me, and
taught me a great deal about the de-
tails and ingredients of all the vari-
Gus items ON the menu. These notes,
and the knowledge thus acquired, prov
ed of inestimable value.
After several years experience as
food checker | became steward for
Il New England summer resort club.
and my experience enabled me TO show
unusual results. Aftcrward | worked
three years installing a system Of
checking food ont of the kitchen. This
work took me into hotels in Boston
and other places, and offered Oppor-
tunity for extended observation OF the
good and bad points of hotel manage
ment.
After managing a group of restau-
rants | spent several years among
large hotels. starting as assistant
steward at the Wellington in Chicago.
My roaming employment rs steward
or manager included the Yellowstone
Park and Glacier National Park HUI

and other hotels throughout the
West.
1T was while managing the Fowler
Hotel at Lafayette, Ind. that the OPP
portunity came to invest my savings
and part Of my salary in the Hotel
Aurora. Here | saw real business
opening. and soon afterward ! took
charge as managing director"
1t is often said that n first-class
hotel cannot exist in towns within an
hour or two of large city-and Au-

DAVID l.. REMLEY
Of St I.nIIis

In ST. Louis, David l.. Remley op-
crates uniquely diversified sort of

ton. He has four-story building in
which is housed n grocery. meat mar
ket. music store. barber shop. beaut.,
parlOr. delicateSsen. cafeteria, coffee
and tea department. cheese depart
ment. and bakery. There may be 9TH
ers that ! have forgotten for the mo-
ment. Yes, and a mammoth packing
plant, too.
David l.. Remley was born on a
Maryland farm. He graduated. he
says. from the school of hard knocks.
At IL. an orphan, he went to work on
Il Kansas farm. For n time he Off
ciated on street car. and then found
a job with Armour, unloading cars in
time he was transferred 10 ST. Louis.
Ii was here that Remley felt the am
bition to strike out for himself. C5m-
ing in contact with merchants. as he
had, he had observed their weaknesses
and mistakes. and the thought of the
improvements he might make fired
him TO n big undertaking. Having
worked SO long with food products.
naturally his impulse conferred on
these goods; so with only $500 in cash
and Il little credit acquired from his
reputation for hard work and staying
pOwer-he opened corner grocery
store.
asked Mr. Rcmlcy TO give me
something about this early store. and
he suddenly exhibited unexpected tai
ent a. a poet. 81 had one employC.
he said, land a daily turnover. As
for the rest il was Early TO bed. early
TO rise-work like hcll-an adver-
tise."
His formula must have been good
one. for the sales that first year show
ed around $4,000.
When Remley nurpOSed 10 open his
new building in 1912-thc Big White
Store-people predicted 60 days at the
most. 1t was such an unusual sort
of store. and apparently so much big
ger than he needed. that by that time
the sheriff would surely overtakc him,
they said.
However. eleven years have passed
and those gloomy prophecies have yet
TO be fulfilled. In fact. Rcmley. to
quote his own words. is doing n bust
Hess OF "uDWuruS OF Il nllllon year.
1T is all due TO hard work" he de-
clares; and carrying good merchan-
disc. BY eliminating delivery and
credit we give the benefit TO the house

As to advertising: Always ut il, .
he says land we do not misrepresent
the goods we advertise.

give TO my family"
In letter he wrote me n short time
ngo he said: 81 have just returned

strong on farming as on store-keeping.

MESDAMES MALKA AND EEL
SO. OF DAYTON. OHIO.

One day Mrs. Howard III. Malka
of Dayton, Ohio, was painting the
furniture in her guest room, when she
conceived the idea of opening u studio
for refinishing and decorating old fur
niture. Straigntway she took her idea
TO Mrs. Charles NJ. Kelso. who was
filled with instant enthusiasm.
Just a word of explanation 10 make
a background for the story.
+ Mrs. Malka had been in newspaper
work for six years. She married, and
on becoming u widow went TO New
York City TO study interior dccorat-
ing. Having absorbed the principles OF
color theory and SO on, she Travelled up
to Syracuse where she learned the
drapery business. and gained some
knowledge of architecture and kindred
matters. 1t was here that she married
u carpet and drapery buyer who. after
the war. went to Dayton.
The other leading character in our
little play-Mrs. Keiso-is the wife Of
a prominent Dayton business man.
and the mother of 13-year-old daugh-
ter. Musical, artistic. and Of literary
bend, it is scarcely surprising that
Mrs. Malka carried her studio idea to
this particular friend.
Their capital was zero. OF course
they might have interviewed the re
spective husbands, and secured finan-
cial backing; but Mrs Kelso and Mrs.
Malka agreed that this businss
should be their own, managed with
out outside assistance.
They hunted up an old red brick
stable on beautiful residential street
and secured it from the owners rent
free for two months-called it The
Paint Rox."
Work came slowly at first" Mrs.
! Malka says: but as fast as we could
furnish il, doing everything ourselves
Most orders were small and We were
or trial usually; one trial brought up
| the planning and decorating of a com
plete bed room. We selected the tat
feta 'draperies, bed spreads and glazed
| chintz slip covers, and painted the
nine pieces of furniture as well as the
| window cornces; the completed room
made our reputation.
I'VE have founded our reputation
| on fine-satin finish-both in paint and
varniSh; and we have never turned
out two things alike. Each patron has
something original and as beautiful
as we can make il.
1--WE had all of the secrets of the
trade TO learn; but we established
credit at one of the best paint stores.
and found there manager who had
| been for many years painter and
decorator. From him. and through
! much research at the library and else
where we have become fairly expert in
producing rubbed varnish and waxel
finishes. enamel, and old ivory sur
faces"
Mrs. Mako does all the flat work
and finishing, some of the designing,
decoration. and bookkeeping. Mrs.
KclsO does decorative work both are
constantly busy.
We are planning TO make our
quarters more attractive soOn," Mrs.
Malka says, land to hang out by an
iron cane unique sign-the silhouette
of Tip table"
The Paint Box ended its first
year recently in good financial con
dition. with stock of old furniture,
brushes and various fixtures. We
made two small loans at the bank, but
soon repaid them. And the new wear
starts with five times as much work
as last year."

G.. F. BUCHE COMPANY
Of Lake Andes, y. ID,

Gus /. Buche worked in small
general merchandise store at Parkston.
). D.--worked and saved some money
and looked around for a place to make
it multiply. He reasoned that mort
cages and bonds might be good il one
had enough of them, but as for him he
could make money earn faster.
With few hundred dollars capt.
tai he went to Lake Andes, :. D., and
Lake Andes was even smaller town
than Parkston. The latter had 1900
people. Lake Andes. $50.
A wholesale man in Minneapolis,
who listed Gus Buche rs one of the
outstanding small successes Of his re-
sion. said of him:
by careful buying. close applica-
ton. vigilant watch of credits. and 4
personality that stands for cheerful
ness and courtesy. Gus has made Il
combination that couldn't be stopped
Springfield is another little town up
there in South Dakota. smaller still
than Lake Andes. Yet when Gus
Buche was ready TO open Il second
store he picked Springfield. This was
to years after his start. and one of
the clerks from his Lake Andes store
was put in as manager.
Ravinia, :. D.. is a pigmy COM
pared even with Lake Andes or Spring
field; in fact. it has only 200 peo-
pie. Nevertheless. in another year Gus
opened his third store there, aud put
another of his Lake Andes clerks IN
charge of ii. 1t began to look rs if
Buche was seeking out the smallest
hamle;s he could find.
For his fourth store he chose the
town OF belmont. with 800 people. and
a third Lake Andes clerk went there.
In every instance when Gus started a
store he set down within it a young
man who had absorbed his ideas and
personality at first-hand.
A "big" town was picked for his
fifth Store-Wagner, with 1900 peo-
pie. Yet altogether the population of
the five towns i'm which Gus BuchC's
stores are located is only 200 peo-
pie.
Now. according to the sales made
in general stores in towns of 26OO.
Gus might have reasonably expected
annual sales of perhaps $4,000. Ac-
cording to my information. which
comes from wholesalers who know
the inside of things. You can guess
Buche'S total yearly sales to be not
under 100000.
The G.. +. Buchc Company is little
and obscure. so far as the great world
is concerned. Did you ever hear of it:
Did you ever see Buche'S name in
