YOUNG MEN IN AMERICA
Continued from poge six

That first year the brothers did
large part of the work themselves,
delivering their product in the second
hand car And they found out, to their
satisfaction, that their belief in quail
ity ice cream, made according to
home tried recipes, was sound, The
volume of business that first year was
$83, ,4O3. By the end of 1888, they had
left that total far behind. Dallas
statisticians figured that, on long, hot,
midsummer Sundays, one out of
every five persons in the city bought
ice cream in one of the Cabell shops.
In 1886, having bought their own
farm and Guernsey herd and gone in
for dairy and bakery products as we'll
as ice cream, the volume of business
was more than $35O,OOO. Today, with
from l4O to 200 people in their employ,
the total is considerably higher.
But it is not only in these relatively
large-scale successes that young Ameri-
cans - at work - are demonstrating
that this is still young mans coun-
try. Recently in Dayton, Ohio, l met
a housewife who told me about the
Jimmy King Window Washing Service
l called on Jimmy. He is twenty-three
years old and high school graduate.
He has Job as an apprentice tool
maker in a refrigerator factory. His
hours there are from three-thirty
in the afternoon until midnight. He
sleeps from one until seven-thirty
The rest of his day he devotes - as
he says - to "the business"
The business began three years ago
when Jimmy's neighbor asked him
one day whether he would like to
make some extra money by washing
her windows. He washed them, did an
excellent job and got paid six cents
window. That, as he describes it, set
me thinking" Some of his young
friends at the factory were anxious for
odd-job employment. Jimmy found
that they would be interested in win
dows. So he set out to make door-to-
door canvass. He promised customers
100 per cent satisfaction or a new
wash - and that goes for window
sills as we'll as windows" Before long
he had three boys working for him.
The next year he bought a small car
to transport equipment. He bought
stickers so that housewives could keep
his telephone number and inserted
ads in the street cars. This year he has
nearly 500 regular customers and
employs from ten to fifteen boys. He
charges eight cents window and pays
his boys six cents.

Dayton is also the home of the Alan
B. Twyman Sound Film Libraries,
Inc, behind which long name is the
story of another young man who has
turned the times to account. Alan
Twyman is 20. When the depression
hit Dayton, he was in charge of the
visual education program for the pub
lie schools of Montgomery County.
Visual education was something which
the authorities decided could be dis
pensed with. 1t was - and Twyman
with it. That was in 1881. Twyman
was %, married and almost broke.
But he had an idea that there was a
place in Dayton for a film service
which would provide entertainment
in the home On that idea he borrowed
$1,5OO, bought equipment, rented
films and began to make the rounds.
The suggestion caught on. Within six
months he had three men operating
three separate units. Today - with
showings in schools and churches as
well as for children's parties at home
- he has twenty-five units.
He also maintains large film
library, has the exclusive Ohio rights
for certain motion-picture apparatus,
is representative in the Midwest for
several educational film companies.
His company now has assets of S25 900
and its weekly income is over ST 900.
OF the chronicling of the difficulties
and handicaps of the present genera
ton of American young men there has
recently been no end. But these chron-
icles tell considerably less than the
whole story. The fact that the minus
side is easier to get at and has been
more widely publicized has left the
impression that the plus-side has very
little on it. An inquiring reporter soon
discovers, however, that the plus-side
has great deal on it. do not believe
that the United States - as some
people have indicated-is an econom-
ic wilderness. But if it is, then it is
reassuring to know that American
young men, like their pioneer fore
bears, are hard at work hewing and
building, cultivating and producing
to bring order and prosperity out of
it. These young men seem to believe
that the United States is still young
mans country. The results seem to
indicate that they are right.

Section, the Federal Surplus COM
modities Corporation, and the Ex-
tension Service to discuss the gen
eral apple situation and the type
of program which would best suit
the requirements of the industry
for the remainder of the marketing
season. Under the present pur-
chase program Mr.. Albin reported,
about 5 1-2 pounds per month Of
the apples bought have been dis
tributed to each of more than A.
100000 needy people through re-
lief agencies in nearly all States.
Since buying was started by the
distribution were carried on with
every effort to avoid interference
with normal channels of trade.
Limited under the program to ap-
pies Of U. S. Comb. grade or bet
ter, the surplus purchases made by
the Corporation have included 55
per cent Of U. S. No. I, 26 per cent
Of U. S. Comb. grade, and 19 per
cent of State Fancy grades in the
western states. The purchases,
made in virtually all of the COM
mercially important apple produc-
ing States, amounted to Az per
cent of the total U. S. commercial
production of apples in 1889, which
was estimated at 100, $780, 900 bush
els. Total Corporation purchases
represent about 81 per cent of the
commercial movement of the COM
mercial apple crop to date. AS a
result of the purchase program and
the heavy commercial movement,
cold storage holdings as of Decem-
Der 1, estimated at about 30,000,-
600 bushels, were slightly less than
holdings on the same date last
year. The surplus program was
launched last October to supple
ment the efforts of the apple indus
try in coping with large crop of
apples, heavy production of COM
peting fruits, and the uncertainty
of export markets because of the
European situation. The grower
conference recommended that in
view of the favorable accomplish
ments of the program thus far and
because of curtailed exporting of
apples, the F. S. G. G. continue
surplus purchases. 1t was further
recommended that the Corporation
pay prices which take into account
the prevailing market prices in the
area of purchase from week to
week. The conference also recon-
mended that the purchase program
include certain varieties of IA tC
1-2 and 2 IA inches nd up, in ad-
dition to the varieties, grades, and
sizes now being purchased.
To provide consumers the oppor-
tunity to buy apples in their best
condition, the group recommended
that every effort be made by grow
ers and the trade to move the sup
ply Of each variety into consump-
tion through commercial channels
during its normal marketing per-
iod.
