Dad and What He and His Sons Are Doing 



THli trouble with so man) 

 Dads is. t'.K-y don't want 

 to give their sons enough chance 

 to trv out their ideas. So the 

 sons go and try them out for 

 some one else and win. 



S. S. Voorhces doesn't happen 

 to be that kind of a Dad. 



As a result he has three green- 

 houses and an all year round in- 

 come; instead of a .cw acres ot 

 land and a three months' in- 

 come. 



The sons have the "pep" — the 

 up-and-go of the firm. The 



kups the "pep ' from pepping 

 a little too fast. 

 One son docs the selling. 

 The other looks after the grow- 

 ing ■ 

 The father looks after every- 

 thing and anything th.it needs 

 loo\ing after. 



He is a hoy with his hoys: and 

 as near as I can learn, they get 

 a lot of downright fun out of 

 their business, and money in the 

 bank in proportion. 

 How about your boys, is Dad 

 giving them the chance to grow
