dawn of day could peer, doors that
would keep out gales of winter and
yet bid welcome. The opportunities

but that individual must be a Mast
er Mind
Several plants beckoned to Mr.
STANCE at this momentous hour in a
career which in the sash and door in
dustry has never seen parallel I'm
erringly he chose to remain close to
the forest from which he would draw
his raw material. The Merrill Manu-
featuring company had just gone into
bankruptcy and Mr. STANCE was in
duced to purchase the plant at its
cost to the creditors. The sawmill
had a single rotary. There was a plan
ing mill, the second story equipped
with sash and door machinery. For al
few months the plant was operated
under partnership, Mr.. STANCE later
purchasing his partners minor inter

For while he kept his own books,
looked after the plant. and all it's
operations To a man who in boyhoOd
had only the real world with it's hard
knocks as playground, it was fun
to dig into the actual affairs of life,
and it was fun to achieve one victory
after another, and it was fun, indeed,
when eventually he became, without
exaggeration, the Henry Ford" of
the sash and door industry, the out
put of his sash and door factories at
Merrill exceeding that of any other
institution manufacturing regular
stock sash and doors exclusively.
So intensive had been the years of
his matriculatfon, coupled with so
keen sense of vision, that not only
the vast generalities of this giant in
dustry, had his attention, but the
smallest details never escaped his
mental grasp.
Gifted with strong body and intel
lect untiring energy, remarkable
powers of concentration and observa
ton, a fauItless memory, and the abil-
ity to overcome every obstacle, this
genius of lumberjack has been an
unsolved mystery even to highly
practical lumbermen. Personally, he
has gone over every plan, every sin
gle move on this chess board of in
dustry, and with remarkable foresight
he has eliminated red-tape, costly in
terruptions, superfluous repair bills
and top-heavy overhead.

who had previously sent beautiful
scenic picture, appropriately framed
as token of his compliments, futher
honored the couple with a personal
call There was no honeymoon excur-
sion following the simple wedding,
and no interruption of the grOom's
daily vocational duties.
The bride had prepared for the
home life she was about to assume.
Her mothers death, early in her own
life, was followed by her own house
keeping for her widowed father. She
and Mr.. STANCE contented themselves
in living in humble way in little
flat of three simple rooms, upstairs.
They never regretted their early mar
riage, and their advice to young folks
about to marry today is to thoroughly
understand the responsibilities they
are about to assume, then to satisfy
themselves of their ability to get
along agreeably, and above all to re-
cognize the valuable lesson of give
and take. So thoroughly. has this prin
ciple impressed itself upon their life
that the golden rule of doing unto
others as you would be done by has
been an abiding and powerful influ-
ence in their business and social deal
ings with others.
Sharing in the struggles and tri-
umphs of her husband, Mrs. STANCE
has ever been a devoted wife. Six
children were born, unostentatiously
named Hattie, Charles H., Adele, Au-
gust j., Emile and Lydia. Three in
the city of Merrill. All of the children
are living today, the four daughters
married the sons and sons-by-mar-
rage, six in all, having proved them
selves trained lieutenants in the far
reaching STANCE institutions. The in
innate relationship between parents
and children was never lost. The
mother did her own housekeeping,
even to the dressmaking in which she
is skilled and the culinary work in
which she is postmaster.

Southpaw Dutch" Leonard, vet

game for several years, is due to join
the Tigers early in August. If Leon
ard is right, he will be a big help
to Detroit.
Realizing Nat the American

pitching is sure to be the dominating
factor, Cobb, in getting Leonard
back, is looking to the future.
Leonard, always great relief
pitcher, may be used largely in that
role by Cobb. His value to the Ty-
gers will, of course; be determined
by his physical condition.
Seldom, if ever, in the history OF
big league baseball, have three rookie
pitchers won places as regular in
their first year. In that respect the
work of Stoner, Whitehill and Wells
