A CLASSIFIED AID GETS GOOD
RESULTS.
Evening star., 1940-05-05

! HERE'S a big section of the world
where it's tactless to call yourself
an "American. As more and more
of us discover the fascinating and
colorful lands below the equator,
we are learning to say instead that
we are North Americans" - big
brothers of the Western family of
democracies, all of whose peoples
are Americans.
Last year THIS WEEK sent Hoff-
man Birney, with whose "G-BAT"
stories you are familiar, on flying
tour over the Andes. to get up-to-
the-minute material for some new
fiction with a South American set
ting. The result is series of stories
rich with the color of Latin lands.
The first adventure. in this issue,
takes you to Rio, where drama and
intrigue lurk beneath the gay mask
of the Carnacdl. Be sure to read:
Secret Agent Unawares." >" M.

could abolish my department entirely and still
manage to get along.
But it seems to me that we're all on the
wrong track. Instead of retrenching, now is
the time when we ought to get into some new
markets. l have a list here of forty different
articles we could make with the machinery
we have in our shop. We're equipped to make
everything here from metal furniture to but
ton hooks I'll bet that if we get into these new
markets, we can turn this crisis into our big
gest asset
The problem wasn't quite so simple to solve
as that, of course But in two years the COM
pany did make the change to metal special
ties. 1t is back on its feet today, and its big
gest seller Just now is metal furniture. The
young engineer who suggested it was elected
president of the company last fall.
Across my desk come similar stories every
day from the newspaper business, politics,
life insurance, steel. industrial design, stock
brokerage and all the rest.
The important thing is not the methods
these young people use to succeed. clever
though most of them are. The important point
is that so many of them can succeed during
period when hard times are shOveling sand
into the wheels of business.
In studying all these case histories, I've
been struck by the threads of similarity that
seem to run through them. In nearly every
case, these young men have an immense en-
thusiasm for their work. Fortified with good
health, which gives them needed energy re-
serves, they think in terms of doing their job
rather than in terms of the number of hours
they work.
oEcoND, nearly all of them are specialists
Many follow the pattern of the electrical wiz
ard who never could get interested in dime
novels as kid because chemistry and physics
books made more exciting reading. Others,
who now settle labor disputes or write IRE
sistible advertisements. have been fascinated
since childhood by the thought processes,
the habits, the likes and dislikes of their
friends Still others have become specialists
by combining two different fields, such as
engineering and law ian electrical goods exec
utive) economics and journalism "a news
commentator) or cost accounting and polltl-
cal science "a city manager.
Third, an element of accident is usually
mixed in. To show what they can do, most
young men must fall into an impossible situa-
ton where they surprise everyone by deliv-
ering. This situation often occurs in job
where normally the work is killingly routine.
Like striking flint on steel, the friction of
to-day routine may explode in the mind
of any alert person a sparkling idea that
points the way to leadership.
Next Week: $4,000 Jobs
Evening star., 1940-05-05

ToHE tolloscing article is the ninth in Lyle NJ.
Sbencer's important TINS WEEK series on
"You and Your .Job.' We publish it in this
prominent space because it carries a message
of encouragement to young America, and
reminder that new frontiers still exist for those
spho haze the energy and the ability to find
them. The Editor
uK employment manager of large in
dustrial concern glowered at me across
= his Uttered desk.
Il have a job here to fill, he said, that
any young man would give his eyeteeth to get.
It's been open for three months, and I'm no
closer to finding the right man now than was
the day the order came in"
I've heard exactly that same complaint 50
many times lately that l think it is worth
listing here. The kind of man these personnel
people are looking for is usually called an
executive or junior executive. He is typically
in his late twenties or early thirties, has
background of sound training and world of
experience for a man his age. Occasionally
he" is a woman.
These job specifications seem commonplace
enough. There are literally millions OF men
and women who could qualify. But they don't.
They lack that queer spark" that enables
few people to leap dozen steps up the busi-
ness ladder while the rest of us are reaching
cautiously for the next rung. They are the
Young men who are entrusted with authority
before they lose their hair.
A prime reason for this shortage today is
the fact that, during the depression, training
proprams for future administrators collapsed
about as badly as apprenticeship programs
for skilled workers. Bright young men who
had been tabled as future executive material
found their roads to promotion blocked by
waves of retrenchment and dismissal slips.
With business now climbing back toward
more normal levels, many concerns today are
caught without experienced men in key posi-
tons They are looking for men who can step
in and fill the bill wtthont serving the usual
apprenticeship
i HIS article is not intended to be a cata-
logue of success stories Yet there are 50 many
recent cases where ingenuity and just plain
long medicines have opened opportunitys
door that they can't be considered simply
accidents A new book, by Felix Streyckmans,
called "Today's Young Men" lists more than
sixty such cases, drawn from every occupa-
ton you might name, and have three folders
bulging with similar records in my files.
Here is typical case A few years ago
large drug manufacturing company was faced
with sagging sales reports. The company de-
cided to boost its volume by invading the
tooth-paste field Since the concern already
had a nationally popular mouthwash, it

BY LYLE NJ SPENCER

seemed like good idea to bring out its tooth
paste under the same trade name.
A fat advertising appropriation was spent
and the dentifrioe was introduced to distribu-
tors with huge promotion fanfare. Trial
orders soon flooded in, but few repeat orders
followed
Then, while means were still issuing from
the top executive offices, junior market
analyst quietly made the rounds of several
neighborhood drugstores and talked with
customers His findings we're amazingly SIM
pie: Most people buy mouthwashes tn spite
of their flavor. Many even think that they
should have strong, antiseptic flavor. But
people buy tooth paste because they like its
taste. And they disliked the new dentifrice
because it tasted like the mouthwash!
Bringing back his findings, the analyst soon
got the flavor problem corrected. Sales figures
started up So did the analyst. His spark of
ingenuity gave him the chance to show what
he could do and today he is vioe-president
in charge of research.
ANOTHER typical case is that of an Iowa
youth, Leonard Kist, who started small
grocery business that went bankrupt in less
than year. Salvaging secondhand delivery
truck from the wreckage, he next started
truck line Seven years later he had fifty seven
trucks and $1,000 week pay roll. His spark
came from the fact that, although legally
bankrupt, he offered to pay off his creditors -
the wholesale grocers-by hauling their gro
ceries for them Naturally they accepted.
And, Just as naturally, he kept their business
after his debts had been squared.
Then there's the case of a junior engineer
in small metal -fabricating plant near Chi
cago -Four years ago his company faced ruin
when new invention made obsolete several
automobile engine parts that were the back
bone of the business. The president called the
office force together for council of war.
Cutting expenses to the bone is our only
hope of surviving" he said. Among other
things, that's going to mean big salary slashes
for everyone in this room During the next
two weeks, I'd like to have all of you prepare
for me memorandums outlining methods of
reducing costs in your various departments
1t was very glum-faced group of men who
left the office that afternoon, and still glum-
mer one that reassembled fortnight later.
For some, salary cuts meant lapsed insurance
policies, refnanced home mortgages; for 9TH
ers, ''retrenchment" meant they would have
no jobs at ALL
One by one they read off their estimates of
possible budget reductions. When it came the
junior engineers turn, he put a single sheet of
paper on the table and stood up.
Since I'm in the engineering department"
he said, there's not much sense in my sug-
gesting slashes If worst came to worst, you
