ORRIS W, ROBERTS, Official in Charge FINAL EDITION THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25,1925 - NOT A SMA t Lawrence STERN o¢ Ye at L\ ALWAYS CONSULTS BIS FATHERS; ; BY ROY J. GIBBONS NEA Service Writer Chicago, Aug. 25.—It is si cant to note that Lawrence F. Stern belongs to a period which preceded by a safe margin the coming of the smart-aleck age. Stern, who is but 57 and grew up in the da younger generation stz to parents as “old fogies. From boyhood on he made con- fidant of his father. Whenever he had things of importance to decide he always turned to his father for advice. d referring cause of these rea- sons s today is celebrat- ing Stern's rise as the succe mance of the present year. He is reputed one of wealthiest men. Stern has just been made pres- ident of a new and powerful whole sale mortgage firm formed to do business on a nation-wide scale. All. Self-Made This firm bears his own name and has the backing of a coterie of self- made millionaires like Stern, William Wrigley, the gum king, John Hertz, the man behind the Yellow taxicab interests and John R. Thompson, the chain restaurant man. Yet, only 19 years ago, Stern as a tow-headed youth was running er- rands for a Chicago bank. It was his first job. He remained with the same house until resigning the other day as senior vice president ENFORCE OLD STREET LAW City Will Require $500 Bond For Permit to Tear up Sidewalk or Street ro- Chicago's Rigid enforcement of an old ordinance requiring filing of a § bond with the city engineer for per- mission to tear up the sidewalk or street for construction or repair work was voted at a meeting of the city commission last night.

Was Poor Student Stern spent two years at Dartmouth but quit before graduation, becau; as he says, he was a “poor student” and got little thrill out of anything save economics. His entry into business was guided by his father and his departure from his first and only job in the employ of others was likewise approved by his father. “I have never made a big deal or ything really important,” says n, “without first talking it over with my dad. He 77 today and I trust absolutely in his judgment. All that I am now that worth wh'le, is the result of what he has aided me to be. “B who listen to their parents usually get farther in busin “Undoubtedly opportunity great deal to do with suc the surest way I know of getting ahead is to learn something that is hard and which no one else knows how to do. After mastering a task of this sort the next thing to think and execute.” After the robbery the men are be- lieved to have jumped from the train when it slowed down to four miles an hour at San Juan Capistrano, thirty miles from here. Officers assumed the men had an automobile waiting them and ready to tuke them to Mexico or some nearby hiding place. Reports reaching the sheriff's of- fice to the effect that a heavy car carrying three men had been seen speeding south through San-Onofre supported the Mexico theory, and authorities in Sun Diego county were taking every precaution to block the robbers’ path to the international ine.
