tation and to keep set of books. He
got a job at IS a week. That was con-
siuered fair wages for beginner in
Lockport in those days.
After six months he asked for an
increase to $3.50 a week. His employer
agreed to give it to him, but it was
some months before the raise mate
rallied. Following two years work
during which he became an expert ste
nographer, an excellent typist and a
first-class bookkeeper, he asked for $40
week. His employer didn't think the
youngster was worth such wages to him.
That was the turning point in John
Raskob'S life. He wrote to Pierre du
Pont and went to work for him in
1900. The next year he represented his
employer as treasurer of a street car
line in Dallas, Tex. His salary had been
raised to $4,000 a year, proving to
skeptical Lockport friends that he
hadn't thought too well of his earning
capacity after all.
He went to Wilmington, Del, in 1902
as assistant treasurer of the E. I. du
Pont de Nemours Co. Later he became
treasurer and then vice president of the
big chemical concern. Mr.. du Pont
joined him in buying General Motors
stock. and John Raskob soon became
the directing financial genius of that
vast corporation and one of the coun-
try's outstanding business leaders.

BY J. V. FITZ GERALD.

The boys in Lockport, N. Y, snick-
cred. back in 1900, when they heard
that John ]. Raskob had put a price
of $1,000 year on his services as a
stenographer and secretary. Why that,
as they figured it out, was more than
S83 month. Young professional men
were lucky to be making as much money
in Lockport in those days.
If no man is a prophet in his own
country, neither is the youngster with
whom we play as a lad generally con-
coded t. have money-making traits or
capabilities above our own. That was
the case in Lockport when it become
known that Johnny Raskob had writ
ten to the owner of an Ohio city street
railway company for a job as secretary,
es-mating his value at a figure that
seemed absurd to those with whom he
had been reared
But John Raskob got the job at his
own price. The man who hired him
was Pierre S. du Pont, then owner of
the traction system in Lorain, Ohio
Lockport residents thought the youth
was lucky in landing such plum.
Before he left Lockport young Raskob
had been making $50 month. He had
asked for raise to $40 q week. When
this was refused him, he decided that
his talents were not appreciated. He
made up his mind to seek fields in
which he would be better rewarded.
So he wrote to a friend, a young
draughtsman, Sterling H. Bunnell by
name, asking him if there was any
opening for him in Lorain. He re-
ceived a reply that Pierre S. du Pont
was seeking the right sort of young
man to act as his secretary and aid in
the street railway business.
When John Raskob told his friends
that he had applied for the job and had
asked for a salary of $1,000 a year,
they thought at first that he was fool
ing. When they were convinced by the
earnest young man that he actually
had asked for such pay, they were GER
tain that he wouldn't get a reply even.
But they were wrong. and John Raskob
was right-he Invariably has been on
financial matters ever since.
The boy who surprised his Lockport
companions in the matter of getting
such big salary was born in that up
State New York city in 1879. His
father, solid and substantial citizen,
was in the tobacco business.
John was an average student in
school. His quick smile and pleasant
manner made him popular. He early
showed a liking for business and an
aptitude for figures. His father died
when John was in high school. Mrs.
Raskob was left with four children.
The future chairman of the Finance
Committee of General Motors didn't

ing in his spare time. He decided that
the sooner he got a real job the better.
He realized that he needed special
equipment to get ahead in the business
world.
He left high school and took a COM
mercial course in stenography and
bookkeeping. He buckled down to his
studies and soon qualified to take die

Beaux Arts Ball Scheduled
Star Attraction in New York
Society Interest Conferred In Elaborate Renais-
sance Being Outlined for Presentation
at the Astor January 81.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE deco
rations for the great central ball room
and two smaller ball rooms for the
Beaux Arts ball renaissance, which Is
to be given at the Aston on January "A,
again is in the able hands Of James
Monroe Hewlett, who has been re-
sponsible for many of the decorative
effects of past affairs.
Mr.. Hewlett, a distinguished scene
and mural painter, designed notable
settings for the Metropolitan Opera
productions and :nurals in the Bank Of
New York Building, in Wall street. This
year, with the Italian and French
renaissance as a background. it is the
S,ni1dent belief of the committee that
new heights will be reached.
Central Ball Room Listed
As Noted Palace Court.
The great central ball room "Il Pa
lazzo" will be treated as the great CEN
trail court of the Palace of Lorenzo, the
Magnificent in Florence. From the
main cornice surrounding the court
enormous drapes of red and gold will
be suspended and these will be drawn
apart with golden cords and tassels to
reveal the balconies in which the nobil-
ity will assemble to view the historic
pageant. This pageant will take place
upon the landing of a great monu-
mental staircase occupying the center
Of the court, above which richly or
namented golden baldachin will be
suspended. From this great canopy a
flood of light will descend upon the
spectacle as 1t ascends and descends
the staircase to the landing below.
The north ball room will be styled
I'll Cortile" and will be treated as q
walled garden, through which the en-
trance to the grand ball room will be
made.
The south ball room will be styled
IN Mercato" and all the wares ap-

| propriate to the market place will be
lavishly displayed therein.
Red and Gold Predominant
In Selected Color Scheme.
The color scheme of the ball will be
predominantly red and gold, and the
ensemble will be further embellished
with fountains, statuary, vases, flowers.
etc. When one adds to this the sew
eral thousand guests in their costumes
of the period, the effect should be one
of dazzling splendor.
Other artists working on the COM
mittee are Arthur Hewlett, Ben Ali Hag-
gin, James Reynolds, Edward Trum-
bull, Leo Lentelli, C. B. Falls. Tony
Sarg, j. Scott williams, Ezra Winter:
willy Pogany. Robert Aitken, Edward
Chester H Aldrich, Harry r. Burt, D.
Putnam Brindley. Greenley, Frank
Crowninshield, George S. Chappell and
Arthur Ware.
The elaborate historical pageant
which will precede the ball has been
cast by Philip A. Cusachs and Ben Ali
Haggin, who are in complete charge OF
this production in which more than 800
prominent people will take part. 1t Is
now being rehearsed.
Choice Of Costumes Limited
To Early Century Types.
The choice and variety in costumes
of the period 1460-l600 is very large.
The rule against modern clothes or any
part thereof is strictly enforced, and no
modern costumes OF any sort whatever
will be admitted. Ernest Peixotto and
Joseph H. Freedlander, who head the
costume committee, are glad to assist
any in matters of fancy dress.
The proceeds Of the ball are devoted
to the educational work of the Beaux
Arts Institute of Design, which gives
instruction in architecture, painting and
sculpture to deserving students at the
Institutes headquarters, 304 East Forty
fourth street, to the Paris prize and the
Summer school at Fontainbleau.
