Capital can be obtained when the proper time comes by the man who fias these qualities, and enter- prises be established by those who start ‘in hfe at the bottom round of the lad- der. Thirty years ago, says the Baltimore Sun, the same objection was made with apparently the same force, yet within these thirty years instances can be ‘found of poor boys rising to become the great merchants end manufacturers of ythe country. If *y had considered that the opportunities to rise had passed away with the first hal€of the century, ‘they might have remained behind the counter or at the work-bench; but they were industrious, faithful, skillful, and above all self-confident and determined to succeed, and opportunities came to them as they may come to any boy of the present generation who prepares himself to take advantage of a change in the tide of fortune. One of the fa- mous assayers of the country started in a very small way, extracting the gold and silver from the sweepings of jewelry manufactorics. I¢ required some years of honest dealing before he could firmly ostablish a reputation for probity and skill that brought him large consi, ments, Then his little laboratory be- gan to grow, ho invented new processes to help him in his work, his good name became known in distant States, and to- ward the close of his life more gold and silver passed through his assay office in a year than through the United States mint at Philadelphia. Mis great business success was due in part to his knowledge and skill, in part to his in- dustry, but also in large part to his! character. Strangers consigned to assay offico thousands of dollars’ worth ofore. Noone save the assayer could say how much silver and gold he ex- tracted therefrom, but men learned to trust him and on the strength of his rep- utation millions of dollars’ worth of ma- terial were intrusted to him as to a Gov- ernment mint. Can the young man of to-day repeat that history? Possibly not in that particular line of work. But the same qualities may be depended upon to bear similar fruit i y business un- dertaking. Tho impatience of young men is often a t to their success. They want to mak oney i establish a great house of a few years. cumstances under which this may be done, but tho general ruio is that sever- | al years are required to fully establish a business reputation that can command a large trade. Quite recently in one of the large cities an old mercantile firm that had been established for over half a cent- ury, and was at one time at the head of all the wholesale establishments, was bought out—stock, good will and fixt- ures—by a young man who had started a small store when this firm was at the height of its power and business influ- once. He did not dream at that time of competing with his great neighbor. He was content to do the small trade that fell to his lot, he attended strictly to ‘business and exerted himself to please his customers. Slowly but stoadily his Dusiness expanded. Before many years ho became a rival of the older firm, and then the unexpected though natural thing happened. The younger man was more enterprising and energetic than his neighbor who, tiring of the struggle after accumulating a large fortune, re- tired from the fleld.
