To make pian that people who practice Thrift in the right way are the real props of busi- ness—that they are the only ones who can be relied on to do buying twelve months in the year—I want to tell you a story about my secretary, Miss Lil- lian Greenberg, who is only one of millions of young people in this country who like nice things are always able to buy them hin reason, because they work steadily and take care of the money they earn. This little lady has been self- supporting since she was six- teen years old. She is one of seven children—three boys and four girls—whose father died when the eldest was fifteen The mother took care of this flock until each child was old enough to go to work. All did go to work. Three of the girls are happily married, but they were business girls before they did marry. ** This is a typical American family, which looks upon work as the real stepping stone to happiness and prosperity. oe 6 My secretary appeared in my office in November wearing a handsome sealskin coat. I &Sked her if her brothers had given it to her, because I know she is living at home with her mother and three brothers. She looked at me indignantly and said: ‘‘No, they didn’t buy this coat; I bought it and paid for it myself, the same as I have bought and paid for everything else for my: ever since | \sterted to work. I paid a lot of money for it, too, and it took me a long time to get the money together. “Now, a year ago, 1 thought a fur coat was a terrible extravagance for a working girl, but when I got to thinking that I have to buy a coat of some kind every winter, costing not less than $50 to $75 and that after one year’s wear it grow: thought it would be econo: a good fur coat, out of wi to get good wear for many years. Be- sides, it keeps me a whole lot warmer than any other kind of a coat ever did, and that's worth something, too. “But 1 did not buy this coat until 1 had consulted my mother about it, 1 did not want to make so much of an inroad on the money 1 had in bank without her consent to do so. She told me to go ahead and buy | the coat, but even then it gave me a wrench to part with so much money. 1 realized, however, that it would be a good investment. 1 believe in the kind of thrift that preseryes health and gives one pleasures and comforts at the same time, You know | am thrifty with my time; 1 work every minute; 1 am thrifty in lots of ways in reading, in studying, in taking care of my things, in amusements. There is something more than just being thrifty with money, yet 1 know | couldn't have the things 1 like if 1 were not thrifty with my noney.”’ Now, my secretary has become a capitalist. Heretofore whatever money she has laid by she has kept lin bank. She did not understand | that any house in Wall Street would | be interested in advising her how to | invest her small sum of money. But | now she knows, and so do 1, She is keeping some money in bank, | but she has purchased, since January | 1, securities to the amount of $250, She made her initial payment and agreed to pay for the balance on a monthly basis, but she has become so interested in being @ capitalist in a small way that she will pay for these securities within the next few weeks instead of over a period of months. She also tells me that when these securities are paid for she will buy some more rthermore, she tells me that she is interesting a number of her persona: (nends to become inves- tors in wsmali way, | | +e | | Does this story appeal to young men and young women? 1 am sure will, 1} WONDER IF MERCHANTS THINK FOR A MINU THAT )THEIR BUS ESSES OULD BE PROS ?EROUS WITHOUT 1 TRADE OF THE THRIFT WORKERS.
