John H.Johnson was born in a family in Arkansas City in 1918.His father died in an accident when John was six.He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high schools for the blacks.

Fortunately he has a strong-willed and caring mother.John remembers that his mother told him many times, "Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe." She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother."You have to earn success", said she, "all the people who work hard don't succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."

These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education.She also knew that believing and working hard don't mean everything.So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son to Chicago.

Chicago in 1933 was not the Promised Land that black southerners were looking for.John's mother could not find work.But here John could go to school, and learned the power of words--as an editor of a newspaper.His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks.

While others discouraged him, John's mother offered him more words to live by: " _ ." She also let him sell her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine.

It's natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.He always keeps his mother's words in mind."Son, failure is not in your dictionary." Now John H.Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America--worth 150 million dollars.

CHAPTER I

The Marchioness of Amesbury was giving a garden party in the spacious but somewhat urban grounds of her mansion in Kensington. Perhaps because it was the first affair of its sort of the season, and perhaps, also, because Cecilia Amesbury had the knack of making friends in every walk of life, it was remarkably well attended. Two stockbrokers, Roger Kendrick and his friend Maurice White, who had escaped from the City a little earlier than usual, and had shared a taxicab up west, congratulated themselves upon having found a quiet and shady seat where iced drinks were procurable and the crush was not so great.

"Anything doing in your market to-day?" Kendrick asked his younger associate.

White made a little grimace.

"B. & I., B. & I., all the time," he grumbled. "I'm sick of the name of the damned things. And to tell you the truth, Ken, when a client asks for my advice about them, I don't know what to say."

Kendrick contemplated the tips of his patent boots. He was a well-looking, well-turned-out and well-to-do representative of the occupation which he, his father and grandfather had followed,--ten years older, perhaps, than his companion, but remarkably well-preserved. He had made money and kept it.

"They say that Rockefeller's at the back of them," he remarked.

"They may say what they like but who's to prove it?" his young companion argued. "They must have enormous backing, of course, but until they declare it, I'm not pushing the business. Look at the Board on their merits, Ken."
