Then my health broke down, #0 I went back to my mother’s farm in Long Island City, ‘There 1 started right in the poultry business. For two years I made a good, round sum of money and regained my health, but my mother died and @ felt as if I couldn't stay on the farm with only the hired help. “I was just about ready to go back to toe-dancing when my brother, who makes cheese (the old-fashioned pot- cheese that delicatessen stores und bakers use in cheese cakes) sugwented that I fouy all his output from him and sell it in Brooklyn. I accepted at once. That was five years ago, and to-day J clear from $7,000 to $8,000 a year. The first year 1 only cleared $1,500. “Come out to my executive office ‘the barn,” laughed Miss Hab, “and I will tel you the rest of the story “My brother dives in Doylestown, Pa, and ships the cheese which he makes on his own farm direct to me. Outside of buying it direct from him | have no further transaction with him, I attend to all my own busi- ness and he declares that 1 make much more out af the business than he coukL” “You must work longer than efght hours a “day?” I said to Miss Hahn as she exhibited her immense ice box containing row after row of 100- pound tin cans packed with cream cheese, her large truck which sho drives herself, the three wagons which her employees drive, and her three well-cared for horses. “I work from 6 o'lock in the morn- ing until 6 at night, replied Miss Hann, I cover all the Flatbush route and most of the Coney Island one. Between delivering and collect~ ing and watching the money end of affairs I seldom have a minute to myself. Last year I handled $60,000 but of course I only cleared $8,000. My gasoline bills, tin cans which have doubled in price, wages to three men, rent for my home and office all eat up my money quickly. But I believe I would have to do a@ lot of toe dancing to earn $8,000, so I am con- tent!” “If you were advising the profes- sional woman or ambitious housewife to go into trade (and many women are longing to, because this 1s wo- man's day)” I said, “what would be your foremost rules?” “Not to watch the clock, to expect to give her full time to her business and to know where every penny goes,” replied Miss Hahn, “I never go to sleep at night until I have ac- counted for every half-cent. I be- lieve women make first rate business heads, and despite all the jokes about their running throug money I think thav are mor wconemical thas men.” WITH US AND By mal IS DADDY Going WITH US To THe COUNTRY D | CAN'T | HAVE To No Poor DADDY HAS TO WORK ON’ His DAY oF REST HE ‘LL CONE NEXT WEEK THANKK GOODNESS ! “THEY ARE GONE !
