lars. These the man had accuinulat-
ed through his own efforts. But
what Is noteworthy about Young
was that he always signed the let
tiers, "P. D. F." beneath his sigma
ture.
1t seems that when. the patent
medicine maker was youth he
made such a poor impression upon
his father that the latter called him
a fool and often told him he would
never amount to much in this world.
So when the boy grew up he was
called "Papa's Damn Fool" adopted
the designation with satisfaction and
proceeded to keep 1t throughout life.
The richer he got the more he en-
joyed adding the initials TO his name.
He apparently regarded them with
more loving care than if they had
represented university degrees.
One David G. Younggren. Seattle
street car conductor, has told the
world how he has accumulated d
fortune OF six figures while working
for % years as conductor. Some
smart aleck wisecrackers might
smoker about a conductor growing
rich, but this conductor didn't make
his money that way. Perhaps you
already read all about how he did
it and there is no use saying more
about it. Anyway, he invested what
he could save and didn't bet on any
poor horses,
We've got a street car man right
in New Britain who is reported to
be as canny an accumulation as that
Seattle man, but that is something
else again.

It had also been announced a day

IT had also been announced even

party, expected nothing but the
acme of prosperity in the future.
Jones ought TO know: he owns 40
skyscrapers, apartment houses and

concerned he like all other first class
business men is going to make
things hum because it is to his profit
to do so.
