A Shoemaker Millionaire's Experiment

• A PURELY BUSINESS MOYl.'

Mr Joseph E Tilt, Chicago's million. aire shoe manufacturer, has let; a princely mansion on the Lake Front to dwell with his wife and daughter in a modest little cottage at En-iicofct, 9 miles from Binghamton. F*r remov d from the social splerdoars arrsul which he and his family nave raoyod and iifed, Mr Tilt seeks to pl«ce himself on a level with hia own working men. They ar® hia nest door neighbours. Some of them re@id« in better homes than, does their millionaire employer and hia family. Many of them will bo ablo to* live more eomfortab'y on their ■wagei than Mr and Mrs Tilfc and their daughter possibly can on the appropria tion he has set add® for maintaining bis household As everybody in Endicott is to con sider himself on a.pUne neither higher »pr lower than that of his neighbour*, Millionaire Tilt proposes to CULTIVATE THB ACQUAINTANCE of his fellow townsmen, no matter how humble. In this way he expects to bring about a condition of affairs which will make of Endic'o't a model town and a twentieth century Utopia. Less than six months ago Endicott did not exist. Theeite was a rolling table land, with a farm house, a barn, or a fence here and therß. Mr Tilt Baw the place while looking around for. an available location for his new shoe factory and tannery. Ho liked it, enlisted the services of George F Johnson, of Binghamton, N.Y, and H B Endicott, of Boston, and the deal for the land was closed very promptly. Then Mr Tilt realised that the opportunity had arrived for carrying into effect; a plan tending towards utilitarianism on a large scale. He would make Endicott AW IDEAL UTOPIA, Liberty o! thought and action would , be the foundation of the project, Plea I ■ant homes, beautiful park", broad paved streets, handsome theatres, con- ! itant ernp'oymenti, and all the advaft- j tagen of the big city, coupled with the privileges of the country, were to be found at Endicott. Varying social elevations were to be entirely elimin ated. WHAT ME TILT SAYS. Interviewed on the subject, Mr Tilt gays;—«« This is purely a business move on my part. Philanthrophy has nothing whatever to do with it;, In leaving Chicago to take up residence at Eodicotfe with my wife and daughter I was prompted by three business motives. First—My new facto vy at Biadicott demands my presence. Second —-I want to Bee that the new town is conducted according to the plan agreed upon. All conditions tending to class superiority mast be eliminated. The citizens will make their own laws and enjoy absolute liberty within the law. There will be no restrictions on the us^ of tobacco and alcohol, and there will be* no blue laws. Third—Tn living among my employees as one of them, and in % home no better than theirs, my idea is to SET THEM AN EXAMPLE In thrift and pride. My living ex penaes shall not exceed the average wages paid to the employees of the shoe factory, I shall pay fast as much ront as they do. Sumnrd up briefly, I will be one of them in every respect. And out of the allowance upon which I in tend co maintain my household (I will save money, perhaps sufficient within a year or two to buy the little cottage in which I live. By getting srcch an ex ample before ray men I expect tobene &-, not only them, but also myself. They will realise that Endicott is a geod town to live in and work in, and they will stay here, working steadily and faithfully, and most important of all, contentedly. Those are my three reasons, and, as everybody who reads them will understand, they are based strictly on business. The man who suggests that lam a philanthropist in giving up my home in Chicago (some newspapers, I notice, have referred to it as a palace) is MAKING A RIG MISTAKE:. According to my ideas » philanthropist Ib a mtn who spends his own money to better the condition of hia humb-'er fellow cili&m, who roaches d>iwn,. »s it were, from hia high estate to, give those below him a helping hand—a 'pull,' if that is plainer: Such is. not any plan. Instead of reaching down, lam going down to live on a plane with my em plojfeeß-sr Americans, 'Germing, Poles, Irißb, Swisp, Rnjeian*, French, and Italians—having them for my next door neighbours, dwelling in a cottage no finer than tboße which tbo factory hands will ct!l their homep, and for getting that lam 11 rich m*n. Those who c»re to study my motives closely will recognise the business logic i&ponn wb'ch tlipyare based. In bettering Wy* ' condition and surroundings, oft tny employees I am resping as nsaoft,benefit 88 they themselves will, derive. 4, (iood surroundings make good* workman, and good wmkmen make good shops, Thero'e I Ibe whole Bfeory in « nutshell.'^ i

The tnornimg of life is the time of abundance, profusion, strength, vigor, growth. When the sun begins to sink, when the midday of lifo is past, then the hair begins to fade and the silvery gray tells of approaching ago, Sunrise or sunset ? Which shall your mirror say ? If tho former, then It Is rich and dark hair, tong and heavy hair; if the totter, it is short and fall ing hair, thin and gray hair, The choico is yours,—for always restores color tc gray hair, Stops falling of the hair, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. This is something you nave been looking for, isn't ifc ? And it is some thing you can have confidence in, for ' it is no experiment; people have been using it for half a century. Wo do not claim it will do everything, but we do claim it is tho best hair preparation ever made. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S. A. T. BullOCfc. FOB SALE.
