Make Your Own Moral
Here Is a True Story of Business Man, That Means
Just as Much as You Read Into 1t.
By ELWOOD LLOYD

of the firm and business-at the age
of 90.
A banker, who had known the man
all his life, said: Garry on. This
bank will support you in your plans.
Your past reputation is your collatcr-
al with us. We will carry you as long
as you need credit
But within a year the banker who
made this statement died and young
err man. kcenly alive to opportunities,
succeeded to the office of president.
The young bank president offered to
purchase the old lumberman's home
at approximately half its real value.
The old man was confronted with the
necessity of selling the home at the
price offered or of having his notes
to the bank called and his work of
reconstruction stopped. He sold the
home.
To start at the bottom of any bust
ness at the age Of 60 is not an easy
task. But the old chap tackled it with
a vim. He stacked his own lumber
piles. ne kept his own books. he rode
his own delivery wagon-he went
back TO the day of the leather apron
and the leather mitten.
We will take quick jump over
the sixteen years of toll which fol-
lowed.
The man died at the age of 50. His
estate comprised another home which
had replaced the one sold to the bank
or. bank account of more than
$4,000 and n batch of receipts
marked "Paid in full for all the debts
which had ever stood against his
business or his name. The evening OF
his life was happy-if it can be said
that this man possessed an evening.
He passed along active in service. To
the day of his death he was man OF
moment in the business life OF the
community-a man whose word was
his bond.
His monumental family that re
veres his name and memory. an I'M
furnished reputation for having been
the man of most dependable word III
all that cOuntr.-.
That is the story. 1t is all true.
Take from it what you will.

the business must die, for it no longer
has a reason for existence.
The profit motive, although it is
supposed to be hard-headed and prac-
teal, is really not practical at all, be-
cause, as has been explained, it has
as its detectives the increasing Of
prices to the consumer and the dc-
creasing of wages, and therefore It
constantly narrows its markets AMI
eventually strangles itself. That ac-
counts for much Of the difficulty
abroad.
FOOLED BY REFORMERS.
There business is largely controlled
by professional financiers, and the
men in actual charge of operations
have little indeed to say about man.
agement. The worker is not expected
to be able TO buy what he makes and
he is further fooled by the reformerS,
who tell him that his way out IS
through higher wages and shorter
hours. He wants exactly what the
professional financier wants-that Is.
something for nothing and THIS,
without knowing il, the financicrs
and reformers combine TO destroy bus
mess as an instrument of service.
That is why we hear so much talh
in foreign countries of the necessity
for export trade. The home market
is not built up through the payment
of high wages for well-managed work
which will result in low prices to the
consumer. The worker Is q consumer
of only a few mcager necessities 81
life.
This need not be so. We have dem.
onstrated through our own industries
in nearly every part of the world that
it need not be so-as will be later
brought out. / have no doubt thu;
the workers in the Ford industries in
the United States own more automo-
biles than are owned in the whole
world outside of this country. There
is no accident in this, and neither Is
it due TO the natural resources of the
United States.
Power can be made plentiful NJ
most anywhere. Great Britain has
plenty of coal and some water power.
The Continental countries have eitheS
coal or water power or both. They
all would have plenty of raw ma.
terials if the fences erected by the
tools of the financiers were taken
down. But raw material is not near
ly as important a factor as it once
was. We are every day learning TO
use less and less raw material by add
ing to its strength.
One of these days steel and iron
will no longer be on a tonnage basis
but on a strength basis. This is
one of the most important of our
developments, and also we are learn
ing that a great deal of material
that has served its purpose can be
reclaimed and revoked. But that.
too, is a matter for another chap
ter.

Here is the true story of a real
man. The value of the story will de-
pend entirely upon the reader. 1t
carries so much food for thought
shall not attempt comment, because
each individual can take from it that
portion best suited to meet his or her
needs.
In thriving Middle Western city
u lad of IA started working in the
lumber mills. He stayed with the job
and made progress, until, in the course
of time, he built up large business,
owned his mills, and was the posses
sor of considerable wealth.
All of these things he valued be-
cause they were t. material mani
festation of his years of hard work.
But one thing he valued more than
these-his reputation for being the
man of most dependable word in all
that territory. His word was his bond
1t was accepted at face value any
where.
The man possessed two sons, but
sons sometimes have the desire to
draw away from the family circle and
strike out for themselves. The old man
recognized this, and although he want
ed younger men TO help carry on the
work he bad started, he let the sons
follow their own desires. He took into
partnership with him two young men
in whom he had confidence.
Soon after this came one of the fl
nancial panics this country has ex'
perienced. Business fell away and OBJ
legations piled up. The young part
ners got out while the getting was
good, and left only a bankrupt bust
ness, heavily loaded down with obi
cations.
This occurred when the man was
60 years OF age. AT the end of A.
years of hard work he found himself
worse than penliless.
1t would have been an, easy matter
to have gone through bankruptcy
but the lumberman would not have
it so. His word had always been good
no one had ever lost money because
of him. and he didn't purpose TO have
built this reputation in vain. He per-
sonally assumed the entire obligations

first confidant. His pipe had gone out
on his way along the main street Of
Melhompton he had felt in his pocket
in vain for matches, and had turned
in at the small to~bacconist's shop, re-
opened today for the first time for
some months.
BOX Of matches, please, MISS he de-
manded.
The two young people behind the. coun-
ter turned and stared at him. The man
was obviously delicate, ridiculOusly young,
with hollow cheeks and thin, weedy frame.
The girl, too, was pale, but pretty in a
tOwnish sort of way. Just now, however,
her eyes were filled with terror.
Anything wrOng?" the prospective pur-
chaser inquired, curiOusly.
By this time the two had recovered some
measure of lf-pOssessiOn. The girl felt
about for a moment underneath the cOun-
ter, and produced a cardboard receptacle

across, and received the money with a
murmured word of thanks. 1t was Obvi-
GUS, however, that she was still half dazed.
The little smile which one guessed was a
habit with her was frozen at it's birth.
Harry FOulds, pOcketing the matches, re-
peated his question.

"We've been had, that's ALL" was the
bitter reply. Just taken in like a couple
of innocents. I bought the good will of
this little business, and the stock. The
stock was valued at a hundred and thirty
eight pounds, but so far as we've been
able to discover there isn't the odd eight
pounds worth here. All these" he added,
touching a row Of cardboard cigaret boxes,
are dummies"
"DO you mean to say you bought on

asked, ~incredulOusly.

to take her share Of the blame.

The girl began to tremble. The horror of
it all was coming back again.
But we are ruinedi" she exclaimed.
Harry FOulds was a good natured man,
although he had the name of taking a
little more to drink than was good for him.
He had also a weakness for the other sex,
and it was beginning to dawn upon him
that under normal conditions this young
woman would be very pretty indeed. He
adopted an encouraging tone.

said. Lets just have a look around. Some
