Success

Otto Orkin never built the pro-
verbal better mouse trap, but he
has killed more rodent and insect
pests than any other person in
history-and that specifically in
cludes the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
lotto" the Orkin Man, as he
is known throughout the industry,
has travelled far since he landed
ON these shores from his native
Latvia. His career began in 1901
in small towns in Eastern Penn
sylvania where he sold arsenic
powder to housewives. Pest con-
troll in those days left a consider

able amount to be desired and
homeowners were thankful
enough to turn over their exter-
minating problems to young Or
kin. Thus his business, even in
this early day, became a service
organization.
Uneducated though he was, his
understanding of business, and
especially advertising, frequently
amazed his customers, many of
whom were happy to give him
letters of recommendation for his
portfolio. Soon the list of satisfied
Orkin customers included all the
leading stores and merchants in
the towns where he operated. He
became known as ''Orkin the Rat
Man" "a name which the Rich
mond, Virginia office still main
tains, though the Company leans
more toward ''Orkin Exterminat-
ing'O a distinction which some of
his customers considered rather
dubious and requested that he
park his truck down the street
and call at the back door.
When Orkin was nineteen years
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1953-07-03

old he set up shop in Richmond,
Virginia, where one of his first
coups was Kidding the governors
mansion of some notorious rats
that had long been in residence
there. They were so notorious in
fact, that a Richmond paper had
printed an editorial about them.
In 1926 he moved his headquar-
tiers to Atlanta, Georgia, a more
central location from which to
expand his business and he has
been expanding ever since. Today
Orkin gets ten cents of every ex-
terminating dollar spent in this
country. The company crossed
nine million dollars last year.
The Orkin DISCRIMINATING Com
pany, Inc, which today is the
largest pest control organization
in the world, grew from a small
black satchel which its founder,
Otto Orkin carried, as a boy of
fourteen, when he sold rat poison
from door to door in Easton, Pa.
Today Orkin operates in twenty
four states, the District of Column
bia and Cuba-serving over 1000
communities, with headquarters
in Atlanta, Ga.
Orkin has more than 10000
contracts for monthly pest con-
troll inspections. Among the larger
accounts are shipping lines, grain
elevators, railroads, chain stores,
and textile mills, and even in
cludes an atomic energy plant.

RUSSIAN GRASS PRODUCTIVE

TUCSON, Ariz. -(P)-A grass
introduced into the United States
from Russia so years ago may help
restore livestock ranges in Arizona
and New Mexico.
The crested wheat grass has
been found to offer a quick and
positive means for restoring range
productivity in the cooler, more
moist parts of the Southwest.
Value of the grass for reseeding
purposes was discovered by the
Southwest Forest and Range Ex-
pertinent Station here.
The experimenters found the
grass can increase forage prOduc-
