SCORES THEN DOM WOES ASBLAE _ SWEEPS BI TERENENT Great Jam in Hallways in Rush to Escape From East Side Fire. “DOLLARS and SENSE” By H. J. Barrett. How to Get a Job. Probably more peopls obtain posi-' tions through answering liner “ads” in the newspapers than by any other Single method, And often, of course, very well paid openings are thus, of- fered. Only a few months ago the city of New York required the ser- vices of a purchasing agent, The po- sition paid $100 a week. A liner “ad” was placed in the New York papers. | Out of the three hundred responses one man, previously purchasing agent for the now defunct United States| Express Company, was selected. But right there appears the weak-) nese of this method of finding a berth. Three bundred applicants answered the “ad.” Only one man was required. What became of the 2097 A# no one is 100 per ce! fficient, as we are all relatively capable, p! we stand a better chance of obtainin, &@ specified position if we can the competition of every one who hap- pens to be disengaged in the city at the time the job is open. That is bd letters sent out to unearth Job they are open to universal competic ton generally pull results. Last sumtiee, just when business! in New York City was in the dol- drums because of the outbreak of the war, a young man arrived from the far West. He had no pull, no con- nections, no leads. His one asset was several years’ experience in the ad-. vertising profession, His first move was to write a letter for the purpose of selling his services. This he had typed and two hundred copies muiti- graphed and filled in, The letters were then mailed out to a list of New York , advertising agencies. From this cam- | paign he received twenty-six requests to call for an interview. Within two weeks he was at work. A vory tn | ple and easy method of finding al berth. But the reason this letter pulled was because it was properly | planned and ably written, And it) went to men whose training enabled | them to appreciate these qualities. The opening paragraph dealt en- tirely with the needs of the recipient, not with the virtues of the writer. He | put himself in the employer's place | and thus obtained an instant hearing. It opened as follows: “Dear Sir: How to build a loyal, efficient staff of dependable workers; | men of initiative, of enthusiasm and | of thorough training; that’s the prob- lem which confronts an executive. “Five years’ successful experience plus a natural aptitude for this line of work stand behind my application for nization, vi it to alt ter ‘Treating her daughter's hair with Kerosene oil before sending her to this morning, Mra.

With those above fighting to get down and others fight- Ang to get up, there was a panic, while the fire spread on the lower floors. Turned from the hallway, the tenants made for the fire escapes. A woman was about to leap with her child and others were threatening i to follow her when Patroman Mullin of the Clinton Street station warned them to wait while he lowered the hottom section of the escapes, When the firemen afyived the fire escapes were still thronged and about fifty people were taken down exten- : sion ladders.

Had this man laboriously made the rounds of the advertising agencies In person very lkely he would have failed of results. He would promptly |have put himself upon an entirely | different footing with the proprietor. By responding to a request for an in- terview he could, to a great extent, |control the interview; by the other | method he would have been at the | mercy of every officious office boy in the city. This method of assault is applica- ble to almost every line of work. Clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, salesmen, both inside and out, and traffic men—all can find openings through the mail.
