Their work is so well done that it keeps the machinery of the organization run- ning like clockwork, ET | One of these women is Miss Bessie Lowrey, who has been associated with, Henry L. Doherty & Company for six- teen years; the other is Miss Regina O’Hara, who attached herself to the Doherty organization a little over five years ago, . . . - Miss Lowrey has charge of what is called the “Central Filing Department,” where a record is kept of every letter re- ceived on every subject. Every letter, before it is distributed to its proper de- partment of the Doherty business, is numbered on a card, and this card, to- , gether with the original letter and a car- bon Soy of the answer to it, must be re- turned for filing in fireproof files and listed under the subject the letter makes reference to. ’ On November 29, while in Miss Low- rey’s department, I noticed a number on one of the tards and it read 1,129,- 141. Lasked her if this represented the number of letters that had come under the personal supervision of herself and her associates sinee the time Henry L. Doherty & Company was established in New York city. When she replied in the affirmative I did a little rapid mental calculation, saying to Miss Lowrey: “You have averaged 250 letters a day for the 4,500 working days in fifteen years.” She replied, “Yes, that’s right, but you must re- member when we first started we received hardly any letters. We are now handling in this department an average of over 750 letters a day, which means 225,000 letters in a year, inaleseiae the number of people who are in- terested in the Doherty organization and who have close business relationship with it.” . * Miss O’Hara’s department receives from the Central Filing Department all communications making inquiry as to investments in the several enterprises directed by the Doherty organization. She has in her files the names of all salesmen connected with the Bond De- partment, which has direct charge of the sale of all securities sponsored by Henry L. Doherty & Company. The names of inquirers are fairly distributed among the salesmen. Miss O'Hara reads every letter, and she always has a suggestion to make when it is turned over to a salesman. The principal suggestion she makes is this: is an inquiry from Mr. or Mrs. oz si id it should receive imme- Now, anybody asking about the securities of the several Doherty enter- prises is entitled to a personal call. If out of town, immediately write a nice friendly letter, showing your appreciation of the inquiry. All inquiries from the New York territory should: be answered by a personal call. Don’t, write letters to people in your home town. Go and see them, Don’t call them on the telephone.” oe 8 The salesmen take Miss O’Hara’s ad- vice in good part, because they know that she herself before becoming asso- ciated with Henry L. Doherty & Com- pany was one of the most successful saleswomen in the country. She was not a “behind-the-counter” saleswoman, which is an easy job compared,with the job she had. She traveled all over the country, and she learned that writing letters or calling people on the telephone «didn’t get nearly as many orders as per- sonal calls. She is so interested in see- ing the Doherty enterprises grow that she wants every salesman to be on his toes all the time. . * “1 have always maintained that women can lead men to their best efforts, especially when they dig into situations and analyze them, Their intuition, I have often said, is more stim- ulating and more accurate as a rule than the average man’s deliberate judgment. 1 am strong for women in business; I am diate attention, strong for women in the home, They are the savers usually, Many a man's mother or sister or sweetheart or wife or daughter has put him on the right track in the matter of saving, so I am telling you these things because I want to interest the women of New York City and vicinity in encouraging thrift not only among the male but among the women workers, os 8 I asked both Miss Lowrey and Miss O’Hara how it came about that there are 168 women workers in the New York offices of Henry L. Doherty & Company, because I know it is unusual for houses in the Wall Street district to employ many women, . ; I want you to pay particular attention to the answer they gave me, which was this: . “During the war, our organization (mind you, they say ‘our organization’), which at present numbers 677 all told in the New York I ask everybody I meet: women and girls in the Doherty organization during the war. Mr, Doherty has told us many times that we contributed a lot to the develop- ment of the business—that we handled things as well as the boys.who were here before they went to war. They told us we did so well that when the boys came back we were going to stay here just the same, because there was enough work for all of us to do, “We think it’s fine to be working for an organization that keeps its workers steadily employed, but, of course, there is a reason for keeping us steadily employed, because the busi- ~ ness is constantly growing. This is due to the co-operation of every worker, man or woman, because every worker feels that the success of the business depends upon his or her individual efforts,” *. * * I know you will be as pleased to read what these women said as I am pleased to quote what they said. see Since I am writing to you about thrift and trying to get into your minds the nevessity of saving, I am getting so that “Are you saving some of the money you earn?” In some cases I get the answer, “What business is it of yours whether I am saving or not?” and I say, “Oh, it isn’t any of my busi- ness particularly; only I never saved anything and I knew what I suffered because I didn’t, so I just would like to put you on the right track, that’s all.” I __ 1 asked Miss Lowrey and Miss O’Hara if they and the girls in the Doherty or- ganization save money, and they said: “We sure do, and we are the greatest little bunch of savers in New York, we think.” See? You realize, don’t you? that - what I just told you about women being natural savers is true. Miss Lowrey and Miss O'Hara told me this: “About five years ago we were given an opportunity to buy two shares of preferred stock and one share of common stock in the Henry L. Doherty & Company enterprises, rep- resenting a total investment, of $300. The house said it would carry the stock for us and give us the opportunity to pay for it on the basis of $5 a month over a period of five years, or sixty months. _ “We bought the stock, which has been a good investment, and some of us who could save more than $5 a month were privileged to buy as many more $300 blocks as we could afford, As a matter of fact, the house encouraged us as many $300 blocks as was represented by r year’s salary. For instance, a girl earning $1,800 a year was privileged to buy six $300 blocks and to pay for them on the basis of $30 a month, which represents $360 a ~ year in savings, or 20 per cent. of her salary, Many took several blocks. “All this time we received our dividends, and the common stock that we held increased in value, Why, say, Mr. Freeman, how can we help saving money when we have so mach encouragement to do so? Many of us have several hundred dollars saved up, which is a mighty fine start for future savings and in. vestments.” Now I want to tell you another thing that will demonstrate to you that after one acquires the habit of saving it does not necessarily mean closing one’s heart to the good times of life. What do you suppose these girls of the Doherty organization, as busy as they are, are doing? They volunteered to make 500 dolls and to stuff a lot of animals to be distributed among the poor children of New York during the holiday season. They did this work during the noon hour, rushing through with their luneh to give as much time as possible to it, and some remained after hours very frequently’ Some girls who had to stat working early in life to help keep the home fires burning and / never had time to learn to sew began to learn this important art by taking these dolls and animals home at night and fixing them up, bringing them back to the office in the morn- ing. In addition to that, there was a genera’ “se|- ing among the girls that every day they ou, lit to save a little something out of their regul» daily expensesy putting a dime or a yickel in a box to turn over to the charity organizations of the city with which to buy some little Christmas token for some poor child. ‘They accumulated in this way a great many dollars —in nickels and dimes, mind you: * 8 8 So: you see that one can save, and then after saving still put aside something out of what is left to help do a lot of good in the world, and I submit that these girls in the Doherty or- ganization are teaching you and me a mighty fine lesson, not only in the matter of thrift but in carrying out the biggest thing in life, which is opening one's heart to serve others.’ Of course, the motto of the Doherty organ- i “Pride of Workmanship—Pride of has something to do with the spirit which dominates the young women of this organization, * 8 © Not only one little book, containing valuable hints as to why you should save money, but several will be mailed to you without charge if you will write for it to Henry L, Doherty & Company, 60 Wall Street, New York City, * * Letter No. 6 wilopest in the Sun- day newspapers, December 26, Sincerely yours, ‘ = WILLIAM C, FREEMAN, 117 West 46th St., New York City.
