Bxactly the seme plan js exactly as successful with the average girl. However, it involves the apending of considerable money, and unloss Romeo is Qush, perhaps he had better try the “art of admiration.” The one secret of making a woman fall in love with you by admiring her is to burn incense to the virtue or charm she does NOT possess. If she is a semi-professional siren, look her squarely in the eye and tell her you have felt from the first she is a GOOD woman. If her worst vice is cheating berself at solitaire, whisper something about the maddening ef- fect of the little devil that lurks in her eyes. If she is clever, admire her epigrams. It is so simple.

He was a pioneer in that line, blazing the way when millionaires were com- 'rymen | paratively scarce in this country, and his by-products, in the ranks of whom vite are such men as Charles M.

In his memoirs he says he ac- cumulated his first $1,000 by saving the money a few dollars at a time, but other passages indicate that he had a winning way and was able te procure ald from banks and capitalists tn lay- ing the foundation of his fortune. Be that as it may, he was a believer 14 hard work and saving habits, but he was not long in coming to the idea that the short cut to wealth Is through the efforts of others, His first job entailing responsibility was assistant to Thomas A. Scott, Su- perintendent of the Pennsylvania Rai!- road. Col, Scott was a railroad man of the old school, He believed to doing all the important work of his office with his own hands, and he trained young along those lines, wrote Mr. Carnegie, “a few years ago, after he had retired from business, “I think Mr. Scott ,and I were the most foolish men in the world in that respect. “It took me some time to learn, but I did learn that the supremely great managers such as you have in these days never do any work themselves worth speaking about; their point is to make others work while they think. I applied this lesson in after life, so that business with me has never been 8 care.” Col, Scott, by the way, was one of Andrew Carnogie's first by-products. Impressed by Carnegie's business abil- Ity, Col, Scott gave the young man his firet opportunity to make money outside his pay by advising him to ‘uy $500 worth of Adams Express Company shares and to invest $500 in the Woodruff sleeping car, which wes tbe forerunper of the Pullman, Andrew; Innectie and Tren Of His Forty Four Partners When Andrew Carnegie went into the steel business he made Col. Scott one of his partners and one of the carly ste] millionaires, When he had foreseen that steam rallways would soon be compelled to replace, their wooden bridges by steel structures and had decided to mal the steel bridges Andrew Carnegie cust about for likely young men to aid bim im bis enterprise. He found- fa in the early seventies the Key- Stone Bridge Company. His original partners were William P, Shinn, David McCandless, Henry Phipps and Thomas Carneg'e. These partners conducted the plant and Andrew Carnegie raised the money and sold the goods and attended to the adver- tising. He was the first great indus- trial presa agent, and his methods awed and disgusted the old timers in the steel business, but he got the business and the money. Subsequent- ly he took into the Keystone Bridge Company Thomas N. Miller, William Coleman, Andrew Kloman, J. Edgar Thompson, John Scott, David A. Stew- art and John W, Vandervoort, ‘The steel industry was flourishing in Western Pennsylvania and North- ern Ohio in a small way. The meth- ods of the old-timers were consérva- tive, Andrew Carnegie’s bridge con- cern grew like a mushroom and he began learning things about the steel manufacturing business every min- ute. He found that many labor ing and production speeding devices had been ignored by the stee! saakers and that there were in the trade many young, ambitious men who were not getting a chance, He gathered up some of these young men and went into the steel business, Aided by a probibitive tariff and the tremendous railroad expansion in the late seventies, the Carnegie enterprises would have grown to great propor- tions along natural business channéls, but he forced them, He began in- spiring his superintendent and sub- superintendents by gifts of stock in the concern. He made them partners, . Tn 1889 Andrew Cagnegie had thirty- three of these partners, not one of whom had paid a cent for stock whicb was earning from 80 to 60 per cent. per annum. He drove these men as Simon Legree drove Uncle Tom, but he was a benevolent Simon Legree. He rewarded toll munificently and he weeded out the men who could not stand the pace with scant ceremony or consideration. Occasionally a val- ued partner would break down, He would be promptly pigeonhold and a new, eager, striving, ruthless young man would take his place. ‘The army of clerks in the Carnegie enterprises were keyed up to the ut- most endeavor by promises dangling always before them of stock bonuses and promotions to salesmans! or superintendencies, In the mills, the skilled workers were paid staggering ‘wages and many with ideas were picked for promotion. Of the thirty- three partners of Andrew Carnegie in 1889, only three had more than an elementary school education. The others had’ gone into the mills as ‘boys and worked their way up. ‘Those were rough, strenuous days. Andrew Carnegie applied to the fullest extent of his remarkable powers of organization his point “to make others work while I think.” Henry ©, Frick, one of his partners at that period, brought to the Carnegie inter- ests five-sixths of the Henry W. Oliver holdings in the Mesaba ore range without the actual expenditure of a cent, Later, Frick had a falling out with Carnegie which resulted in the reorganization of the Carnegie interests, For his services in bringing about this reorganization, James B. Dill, the corporation attorney, was paid a fee of $1,000,000, When J. P. Morgan and the allied Wall Street inferests saw that the indomitable Carnegie, who thought all the time and drove others to work for him all the time, was in a fair way to carry out his threat that he would grab control of the steel and Twoscore Partners, Men Picked Frcm the Throng Because of Their Potential Ability— Many of These Men, Such as Schwab, Frick and Corey, To-Day Rank Among the Wealthiest Men of the World.

He had forty- four partners, none of whom had paid @ dollar for his stock, and all were in the millionaire class or approaching it, Many others had dropped out of the organization either to retire from business or to go into some branch of the steel industry on their own account. Among those millionaires who were the by-products of Mr. Carnegie’s closing years in business were W! Nam E, Corey, Charles M, Schwab, George Lauder, James Gaylet, A. T. Dinkey, F. T, F. Lovejoy, John G. A. Leishman, P. T, Berg, Henry Boenth- rager, Thomas Lynch, W. W. Black- burn and H, P. Bope.+ All of the partners, who were active to the close of Mr. Carnegie’s control, profited by the sale of the Carnegie steel in- terests to the United States Steel Corporation and named the President of the United States Steel Corpora- tion for five years after he retired from active business. The formation of the United States Steel Corporation was the means of making millionaires of hundreds of men who had not been with the Car- negie organization, and these are in- directly responsible to Carnegie for thelr wealth, for he made possible the United States Steel Corporation. The aggregate wealth of the million- aires Andrew Carnegie made directly or indirectly amounts to many times more than Carnegie’s fortune at the peak of his prosperity. After he retired from business he looked After the widows of many of the men he had raised to wealth, pay- ing them 6 per cent. on their .money and protecting them in their holdings by bond. At one time he had on his books the names widow depositors and the amount he held for them was $3,187,824.20, of 148 of these!
