Stifle Storied About ~ 7f[enan}flffQir$ Jbyjiaron 717. Jones MUCH HAS BEEN SAID from time to time anent the dearth of public utt. ranees by Mr. George F. Baker, Sr. However, the sincer ity and emotion which accompany one of Mr. Bakers rare speeches might well adorn the remarks of less prom n en t though mora voluble officials,. For example whefn last spring Columbia Universty gave ? testimonial dinner to Mt. Baker as the donor of a new athletic field he , ? * J was visibly affected as he remarked that "it is one of the very happiest moments of my life An<d, on December 4, probably ^he flrti time in bis life that he spoke twioe on the same day, he was agala deeply maved on both occasions. ^RECENTLY at A CLUB lunch, ean in his honor. Mr. Baker in ex. plaining his lack o L speech tanking in thef past and in expressing hie gra itude to his hosts, was overcome with ctnotion and terminated hi? remarks prematurely. That same evening, as a gue^t at the Alexan der Hamilion memorial dinner given by Columbia University Alumni Mr^ Baker's sole remark: "I thank you ' from the bottdm of my heart," brought forth an ovation rarely | witnesed anywhere. "I HAVE GOT IT; our fortune it made/ wrote King C. Gillette to his wife when he was forty year* of age. He was half right and half wrong. True he had it but their fortune \va3 cot made nor wo?Jd it be until many anxious and weary years had passed. THE GILLETTE FAMILY WERE invention nddic.s. His father and brothers, were habitually getting up some device or ( ther vainly chaa ing the ignis fafcus of wealth. The Patint office holts much evL dence of their persistence, hut Bradstreet's says little of their re. wards. After he was 21 Gillette was a traveling salesman for fifteen years in the United States and England. Theh he took a position with the Baltimore Steel Company which later originaed thg new om. nipresent tin,-with-cork,-lining bottle cap. In th course of one of their ? frequent chats the proprietor, Mr Painter once said, "King you are always inventing. Why don't yon Invent s m*. tiling jeople will use up quickly, and come back for more." That sug^es ion stuck, an^ it became tn obes^ion in Gillette's Uife to apply that idea to every least material act of himself or those about him. ONE MORNING FOUR yean later, in 1895, he was fighting a stiff bei-r^ w th a dull razor. Said weapon cut not neither would It strop. What would you or I have ' done? Cussed the thing, stuck it in a moment, and at the same barber who smoothed off the beard and soothed the grouch at one op eratiom Did K. D. G. do that? Let him say, "Aa I stood there with the razor in my hand, my attention resting on it as iightly as a bird settling down on its nest ? the GIL lette razor was born. I saw it all ? in a momen,, and at the same time many unvoic:d questions were asked and answere^ more with the speed of a dream than by the slow j process of reason. I stood -ttiere' before the mirror in a trance of joy. Fool that I was, and knowing nothing of steel and razors, I fore, saw none of the trials that lay be. tween that moment and success." Then he wrote to his wife In Ohlc the opening sentence of this Spot Light. Yes, of course^ he was ? Fool forx friends and acquaintances ' often said so, by implication if not in words. Expert mechanics failed repeatedly as they tried to make the delicate and necessary blade* The laboratories of Massachusetts Institute of Technology could not help, though they applied their **?^Angand skill. Still the on the bouievtotR^ _ Fool persisted, spending: all be | could spare of a good salary earn, ed at selling boo tie caps. SIX YEARS AFER THE bis Idea was born he was calling Mtf. Stew, art, a customer of Millis,,,, the Clicquot Club town. "How's ~ the razor?" had taken the place of "How d'ye do?" with the Fool's ac. quaintaffcerfv This time the greet ing opened a talk which led to his meeting a possible backer w^o be came a real one; and that^ to get ting the help of a Tech.graduated mechanical engineer. William E Nickerson. The alumnus did what his alma mater couldn'jt ? found the way to produce thin, good, double edged, razor Wades. More than that, this genius designed,/ and built the marvelous machines used in making them. STILL FLOUNDERING, THE en terprise used up its whole $5,000 capital the first year and owed $12,000 more, with no razors sold and only a few given away. "Back ed up to the w*li and the creitors ready to fire" is the way the Foo describes their position. But he continued foolish, and in another year or two the company was mak ing money. Now, twenty jears later, the business reckons its out. put at a half million blades, and Its profits at several million dollars annually. Was he a Fool? OVER 25.000 MEN AND I WO. MEN in his country have dont something out of the ordinary in some line of endeavoor and for this reason have had their namec names placed in the most riecent issue of "Who's Who." Unquesion. ably many of these have rightly earned the right to be separated from the rest of the hundred and twelve millions of people in our land aqd catalogued ,as being leaders. But some of them acheived their fame merely by a jWhim of Jotftunesi In character, sincerity and endeavor they are nc different than many who walk un. i, recognized. Consider for instance the mother who gives her life com. pletely to a large family of children From early morning to late at night she fills the whole day with sacrl. flees for those she loves And the father with lunch basket of cold sandwiches, walking to work in th( early dawn in shoes no cobbler could repair, smoking the cheapest \>taoco in a dime store pipe aiy too tired to realze that the western sky has been painted to cheer men at the clos^ of the day He sleeps un i |i morning, only to awake to repeat the routine of the previous day. Heroes, thfa more to - be praised than those whom accidents - and chance have favored^ TRYON ROUTE 1 By Mrs. R. G- Hamilton Oh, Lest we forget ? the first thing in this New Years letter is Thanks to our Heavenly Father that all is well as it is with us and we should resolve to make . the approaching year better in His sight or do our part at least.
