Young Sioux Falls
Mon Builds Good
Business Venture
BY Minerva BrIdEewater

Sioux Falls, s. D. A success,
story Of which this city Is proud
is that Of Charles Smith. 1911 No
Phillips Ave, who. with enter,
prise and hard work has built q
large window cleaning business.
Mr.. Smith, a native of Jack,
son, Miss, was a World War II
draftee from Chicago. He was
stationed during the war for three
and a half years here in Sioux
Falls, with the rank Of sergeant
He made up his mind that Sioux
Falls was a good city.
After his discharge. he obtained
a job as a short order cook in q
cafe where he was employed for
a year.
Seeing the possibilities Of q
first class window cleaning ser
vice he contacted a single down
town merchant and secured his
order for regular service. After
his first customer was obtained
Mr.. Smith walked and talked
and soon he had other orders.
As his business grew ne pur,
chased a 1929 Ford truck which
had no top on the body, His sec.
ond car in which ne moved from
customer TO customer was also q
1929 Ford truck. Other trucks OF
later make followed al his bust
ness grew.
Soon II was necessary to hire
several men to assist him In
carrying on his business. AZ q
sidehne the enterprising mar
raised chickens for a time.
Smith faced severe problems a.
his business grew and many times
il looked like ne couldn't make q
go Of 1t, but as time went on his
work and the service he rendered
became recognized.
About four years ago he pur'
chased an all modern home. A
year ago he built a two stOry
building to house his business
storerooms and offices. On the
second story there is an apart
ment which he rents.
He uses two vehicles in his
business today. a 1949 Jeep De
livery panel truck and 1856
Chevrolet. The family car Is q
1850 Cadillac. In addition to the
four employees who do the act
ual window cleaning, Mr.. Smith
has a stenographer and book
keeper.
The business man IL married
and has two children, Kenneth.
six, and Constance, four. His
wife IL now q student at Nettle-
ton Business College, taking n
business COURSE.
The Smiths own property In
Minneapolis and nearby towns
Their success furnishes an ex'
ample to other young men anc
women who have the good sens
and ambition and are able TO se'
what industry has accomplished
for Charles Smith.

New Investment
Levy In Sweden

The new tax on capital invest
ments in Sweden which will take
the place of a similar tax i'm
posed last year will result in 10
per cent levy on investments in
buildings and machinery that are
made in 1852 and 1858. Applying
to industry as well as to agricul-
ture and commerce. it is estimated
that the tax will yield 1O0-15o
million kronor annually. A bill
authorizing the Government to
control interest rates. if such a
system should be considered nee
essary, has also been presented.
Other initiatives expected from
the Government during the fall
session of the Riksdag include ex-
tended aid to the farmers as COM
pensation for ravages made by rust
on the wheat crops.
