B. M. Is Half So Tired as the Folks That Read His Secrets of Success. Copyright, 1081. by the Prom Publishing Co, (The New Virk Rvening World) ‘© tired business man is half so Ured as the folks that read his secrets N of success. An old guy's ambition to-day, next to ducking his im- come tax, is being snapped at a flat top desk while signing a million dollar check with an empty fountain pen. A story of his climb from news- oy to head of the Lamp Shade Trust accompanies the picture. Success to-day is measured by your press clipping bureau. No captain of industry has half the interest in the ticker tape that he has in the strips of clippings compiled from the magazines. When a guy has grabbed off hix millions stocks become common and publicity is preferred. Horatio Alger piped a few juicy yarns in his day, but none of Horatio's bootblacks ever copped more than junior partnerships with prominent Wal) Street firms. And none of ‘em ever had sepia pictures in the best selling million-a-month magazines, Horatio’s prize hero was Ragged Dick. But to-day any duke of finance could out-rig him for a poverty stricken beginning and out- dicker him in the final fortune showdown. Our modern self-made men make Mark, the Match Boy, and other Horatio Algerians look like All-American lineup of involuntary bankrupts.
