Dale Carnegie
Hare't a story of real
partnership in marriage, and a
marriage that is a successful
part <ership is not headed for tho
| rocks.
After the late war, three vet
er8?[ started in business togeth
M*!- Marvin G.
Schraid, CoL Taylor H. Snow and
Maj Adrian L. Fosse. Did the
help shortage hinder them? Well
you can Just bet that it did -for
a time. Shortage of materials
loom up as an obstacle? Natural
ly, but our story doesn't deal
with that, nor with the shortage
of offices and furnishings, for
they settled the former by buy-j
ing their own building, and they
managed* to Pick up the neces
sary furnishings.
But they couldn't even by dint
of hook and crook settle every
thing to their satisfaction. For
one thin*, they dSdnt have
enough salesmen nor office help
So Mrs. Schraid took a course in
bookkeeping under the direction
of ? certified public accountant
wd the bookkeeping problem
was settled. Next, up stepped
Mr*. Snow saying "I just love
telling,' and then proceeded to
prove it But there were still let
ters to be written. Inasmuch as
Mrs. Faase knew shorthand and
typing, the took charge there, i
leaving her two small children
for someone else to care for dur- ,
ing the hours she spent in the of
fice.
Naturally, you'll want to know
what they made and sold: gad
gets, clothes lines that required
no clothespins. They also started
with a special dustpan, but found i
that it infringed on the patent of
someone elae, so that was drop
ped.
During her selling experience,
Mrs. Snow learned that house
wives needed a specially design
ed spice cabinet in order to save
the bother of scrambling around
for some small can or jar when
hurried. (You see this was some
thing a woman seller could talk
about with enthusiasm.) It was
discovered that a medicine cabi
net was badly in demand. So
With" a few changes in the spice
cabinet a medicine cabinet was
turned out.
It is hardly necessary to add
that with such cooperation and
enthusiasm, this company's busi
ness is now booming.

that the one sent by our syndi

the concern which supplies per
national features, .that a news
cut of the New York Governor
labeled "our Next President" was
