Big Houses 

 for Big Business 



I NE of the remarkable things 

 about this wonderful coun- 

 try of ours is the rapidity 

 with which a man can build up a 

 big business— provided he has the 

 ability to see the little things in a 

 big way. 



There is an unmistakable some- 

 thing about the big men in business 

 that you and I at once feel, whether 

 they have on their overalls or their 

 gladdest kind of glad rags. 



Such men seem to need no intro- 

 duction. Their bigness introduces 

 itself. 



Suppose, for instance, we had 

 never met or never seen the photo- 

 graphs of Eobt. Simpson, William 

 Sim, Fred Burki, J. W. Davis, Joseph 

 Heacock, Thos. Boland. John Ste- 



phenson and men of such stamp; we 

 wouldn't have to talk with them 

 long before unconsciously feeling 

 their bigness. 



But back of them all you would 

 know that these men had the ability 

 to look far ahead and have long ago 

 sensed the fact that in this age of 

 big things you have to consistently 

 spend money to make money. 



Such men, when the turn in the 

 grower business came, on seeing 

 their profits being cut down, didn't 

 go around grumbling about it, but 

 promptly figured it out that cost of 

 production must be lessened or they 

 must greatly increase their output, 

 so they planned and built and re- 

 built accordingly. With their big 

 houses came surprising reductions
