Anyway, it all adds up to a huge

One interesting fact about this
huge expenditure is that until re

A friend of mine who has lived

the history of the country. And,
my friend declares, she became
popular at the start because she
never forgot anyone's name.
During the Spanish-American
War. Theodore Roosevelt stopped
in Tallahassee. Florida. on his way
to Cuba with his Rough Riders.
They were in the Capitol City only
about an hour, but Roosevelt went
for a brisk walk, alone. One OF
the leading jewelers. of the town,
H. N. SWeeting, was just opening
his store when Theodore Roose-
yelt stopped to inquire where he
could get a good cup of coffee. Mr..
SWeeting went into the coffee shop
with him. and during their con-
versation he told of his expert
ences with the English army in
India.
Twelve years later, just after
Roosevelt had retired from the
Presidency, Mr.. Sweeting was
walking along the street in New
York City when he heard a jovial
voice call, Hi SWeeting how is
India?" and there stood Theo-
core Roosevelt, with outstretched
hand, on the steps of his hotel.
I once asked Jim Farley the Sc

He then asked what I thought
was the reason for his success.

Il can call fifty thousand people
by their first names.
The last time I saw Jim Farley,
he raised the ante: he said he
thought he could call a hundred
thousand people by their first
names.
Jim Farley was once a salesman
for a gypsum company. He also
served as a town clerk in Stony
Point, Long Island. He says he
built up. while in that position, a
system for remembering people.
When ne met anyone for the
first time. he made inquiries about

The next time he met him, he
