He drifted t into the quar- ters of the Gold and Stock Com- pany, where news about stocks was collected and dispatched oycr telegraph wires to the oueide world and found a great crowd thronged about the company's cumbersome ticker which had broken down. He repaired It and won job.
 He did not Ike apparatus which needed repairs.
 vIe devised his famous Gold and Stock indicator, which, with very few modifications is still in active use. For this invention he was given g check for $40,0Q0. m
 Edison told Hammer that up to that time e didn't know what Q check was intended for. Some one told him to take 1t to a bank. When he showed 1t to the cashier immediately ina. ined that some getting any money with 9 piece of paper.
 Going back to the company's offices he was told that he had to indorse the check. And when he finally presented the check in proper form and the cashier hand- ed him $40,000 in bills over the counter, the astonished Edison, fearing that the magic spell might be broken, stuffed the bills fran ticaliy under his hat, and in his shirt and pants and fled.
 
 Then came in rat-tat-tat suc- cession his ingenious method of sending first two and then four telegraph messages over the same wire which saved hundreds of millions in duplicate wires and the founding of his laboratory at MeG- 10 Park-the first real laboratory Edison had.
 These are the steps that brought it about that in the year 1879 when America was verging on the profound revolution that was to write history faster in 50 years than in all the countless years preceding, the central point of this great pageant should be the little wood frame laboratory of Menlo

 !. Edison, like Napoleon and Grant, squandered men.
 But like these he got results. Working for Edison was no job for any man who wasn't in love with practical scientific researcIl. Edison himself was an memorable pace setter. Francis R. Upton, one of the greatest mathematical physicits in the country and who' was of invaluable aid to Edison in much of the "highbrow'' calcuIa- tions in pure science, once said Il t Edison used men like sponges and squ rzed them until there was nothing more to come out of them.
 One man in the laboratory, Charlie Dean, worked 72 hours straight without rest and won the greatest praise from Edison. Major Hammer himself recalls working 5S hours with out stop ping. But if Edison never spared others he, also, never spared hipi- self.
 There was no such thing as a set hour at the Edison laboratory, Major Hammer recalls vfvidly his first meeting with Edison at which time the inventor cautioned him about the unlimftedness of the work at Menlo Park.
 It was in December. 1879. and at that time Major Hammer was a boy of 19. Young Hammer got past the outer office at MenloPafk, proceeded to the laboratory build- ing in the rear, walked up one flight of stairs unmolested and suddenly came across Edison seated at table alone. Resolute- ly he stated his mission:
 T want job," said Hammer "T don't know anything about the business, but want to get into the gam, and I don't want any, thing until can make my services worth something"
 Edison looked the intruder over penetratingly.
 "Sit down. like your style" said Edison. "A lot of fellows come down here and think there Is a halo around the place-what are they going to get and what are their hours. tell them they don't get anything and that we work all the time"

 The negro porter hovers de- lightedly in the background. Edi- son is chatting like any denizen of Squash Hollow at the store round table and swapping view points. A member of his entour- age appears and suggests that he go in the car and take possession of his private quarters and subtly insinuates that as a great man Edison must be protected from chance acquaintances.
 Edisc1 replies: Aren't these people good enough? They suit He stays in the smoker.
 
 The tousled -haired Edison dur ing the early days at Menlo Park, while not yet known as the Wiz ard of Electricity, was still a fig ure of consequence.
 A few years befo.a he had made an inglorious entrance into New York city wearing much frayed linen duster and straw hat much chewed about the edges. As he expressed the situation later to Major Hammer, he didn't have enough money in his pocket to buy s'even chew of tobacco"

 If you associate appearance with greatness you are going to be shocked. If you have been read ing some of those success sketches of 2 lot Of the little men who are mad to appear so important you will probably have some definite notions about how the successful man should appear.
 WI r, is the great rolltop desk? Where are the secretaries that con- duct you from passageway to pas sageway until you finally reach the sanctum of the big shot? Where Is the n1G.i rful gaze which has awed so many? Where is that cultivated m odesty which tries to put you at your ease while you gaze at say Q. Crackus Bunkum, the great president of Sausages, Inc? Where, in brief, are the outward labels of all that inner greatness?

work. Some would let their head fall doN.i on their arms before a bench and doze off. Or along with their chief they would stretch out on q laboratory table.
 There was, however. silver lining to this grinding toll. The men loved their work. Edison dealt with problems that fired the imagination and all became as ax- cited as children when the first clue to ! scientific mystery ap-

open. He rarely wore a tie. On his head was a battered straw hat. when he slept he curled up on a laboratory table with book for a pillow.
 He firmly believed that live dustrious man. He often repeated this now famous dictum to Major Hammer. Buttons were not infre- quentIy missing. And if you didn't know 1t was Edison, you might think him any nick from the coiiri- try store. Only when you engaged him in conversation would you be- come aware of the keenness of the mind that lurked behind this abandoned exterior.
 As a "boss" he knew nothing about the modern art of differen- tiatfng himself from his hirelings he did hauling when there was hauling to do. He worked the presses. He cleaned out his own bottles. He pressed no buttons nor waited to be waited on. And this was Edison practically all his life. { Y
 
 When he married for the sec- time his nersona1 appearance perk- ed up. He rnarried Nina Miller, the daush hter of Meyer Miller, the originator of the Chautauqua as- sembles and man of wealth. His daughter was q very cultured lady. Up to this time he had never had a full dress suit, nor worn a plug hat, or for that matter ever seen a cutaway.
 After his marriage with Miss Miller a revolution began in many of his habits. His shoes were shined, his pants pressed and his collar began to associate with a tie. While he never achieved any degree of dapperness, he did pro- gross beyond the point of untidi- ness. Fundamentally, however, the change was only skin deep.
 To his last hours Edison had

There is no doubt that Edison would have been mortified at the thought of time and a half for overtime.
 He hated clock watchers and surrounded himself only with workers whose enthusiasm for their tasks was so great that fa- tigue rarely got in any real kicks.
 Far into the night his small corps of technicians labored on the unsolved mysteries of electri- city. Men would nod at their
