PAGE @ From $12 a Week— to a Million a Year Opportunity isa GOLDEN word, that is emblazoned BIG across the American sky. It lights the path of the WORKER— and warms him with HOPE. Nothing is so plentiful in America, as opportunity. The country is spilling over with it. Always, there are more jobs for good men to fill, than there are good men to fill them. “Whenever the question comes up of buying -new works,” says Mr. Schwab, “we never consider whether we can make the works PAY. That is a foregone conclusion, if only we can get the right men to MANAGE them.” ° Big employers of labor are gumshoeing up and down the earth on a still hunt—in search of workers a little out of the ordi- nary. ‘They are eternally on the trail of men with the right STUFF in them—the EXPANDING type—that think and perform a little BEYOND their JOB. At the top of this page is the portrait of Eugene Grace. One cold gray morning about ten years ago ’Gene Grace went to work as a laborer in the yard of the Bethlehem Steel Company. In a little while they had him running a switch engine. He did that so well that they placed him in charge of an electric crane. The next thing, they promoted him to the Open Hearth Department, and raised his pay to $15 a week. In going about the plant Mr. Schwab noticed this clean, alert young man, and inquired his name. Mr. Schwab said of him after- wards: “In the next while, I watched the fellow and saw he was seething with the stuff of which big men are built. He was not oon physically, but that body of his housed a dynamo of en- thusiasm.” Soon he was made yard foreman, then yard superintendent. Then they sent him to Cuba to organize the Juragua mines. He made such a good job of it that they promoted him to assistant superintendent, then to general superintendent, then to general manager, then to president of the Bethlehem Steel Company. Without “pull,” without anything more in his favor than a level head and a manly attitude toward honest work and toward life— inside of EIGHT YEARS ’Gene Grace worked his way up from a laborer’s job at $12 a week—to the presidency of a concern employ- ing 72,000 men—and to a personal income of more than a MILLION A YEAR! HE DID HIS BIT—every DAY—and kept on thinking BEYOND HIS JOB! This is America—the land of self-made men. There is no copyright on the method Eugene Grace employed in climbing the steeps to SUCCESS!
