Immigrant Girls Fish
Cart Turns Into Millions

Anybody who ever exclaimed, or
felt like exclaiming, Il never had a
chance" should have a look with
the minds eye) at Mrs. Fannie
Feinberg This lady runs a fish
shop in the famous Fulton Fish
market in New York, has three of
her five sons on her staff, and does
an annual business of S4OO,O
In rating the chances of normal
persons to succeed, surely none
could be put much lower than a
little immigrant girl of II, speaking
only Russian, and having all her
worldly goods tied up N a handker-
chief The time was 1885. But this
girl was eager to work, and de-
termined to get along.
In a few years she had acquired
a husband and fish cart. BY dill
gence the cart was worked up to a
standing store Then one day op-
portunity knocked on the door, and
Fannie threw it wide open. An or
der came to supply the fish for a
large hotel banquet Fannie took
charge of it personally, and instead
of merely delivering the number OF
pounds ordered, she decided to have
the fish cleaned and cut into in
dividual portions ready to be cooked
and served.
That extra service not only made
a permanent friend of the hotel but
attracted others, and the little store,
always seeking to give better serv-
ice, grew into a market handling
nearly 100000 pounds of fish a
year.

covers, lend a bright note Of color
to the room. Some interior decora-
tors match the headboard uphOlster-
ing to the drapery Others use If

tractive designs are coming into
popularity. In standard shades OF
walnut, mahogany and maple they
will match the chest and vanity you
now have in your bedroom. A num-
Der of these were featured at the
midWinter furniture markets.
