The Hero Of Work

"From a speech to students at the Curry Trade Institute in Pittsburg, June 23, 1885.



Experience from a long business lane



It's good that young men get started from the beginning and perform the most minor tasks. Many of Pittsburg's outstanding businessmen received a very responsible call just at the very doorstep. They got the mess of trust and used the first hours of their business life to sweep clean the office. Now I notice that we have special caretakers and cleaners for the offices, and our young men unfortunately lose out on this useful branch of a vocational education. But if the ordinary sopier was to be gone one morning, then the gossip who carried the seed to an inexperienced chief should not hesitate to work on the broom. ""The other day, a young man is spoken by a sore mother in Michigan, if He has ever seen a young lady so elegant and graciously sweeping the golf fat with her trailer as her Priscilla."
