James J. Hill 



The Railroad King ^ 



How He Looked At 



■"'",--, ■■'.': '-■ ■■■■'■■ ;i '-,*"<■', 



James J. Hill started as a brakeman, and ended 

 as one of the country's biggest railroad owners. 

 He knew i-ailroading froin the ground tip. 

 Whatever he did, was done with a marvelous 

 far-seeing eye. 



He built railroads that the oldest men in the 

 business said could never pay. 

 He bought up adjoining land that everybody said 

 wasn't worth a hoot, and never would be. 

 But long before he died, his roads were the finest 

 of dividend payers. v. 7 ~- 



Much of his vast land holdings, although sold at 



It 



reasonable figures, had netted him fortune after M 

 fortune. 



As he built his fortune, so he built anything he 



built on his estate, ten miles out of St. Paul. 



He did nothing temporarily. 



Always, he built for the future. 



Built to last. 



That, so he said to our representative, was why 



he bought Lord & Bumham greenhouses. 



He was "convinced they were the best to build.." 



If you are building TO LAST, we can build for 



you as no other greenhouse builderbuilds.— — ^r —
