They novor speak faco to face. A quartor of a contury ago theso flvo partners woro young mon with small capital. All of them had been employes of tho samo concern, but thoy had tholr own Ideas and bcllovcd In thorn. So thoy put tholr money to gether nnd formed a partnership.

In miscellaneous exam ples ho found tho following: Two ladders will together Just roach tho top of a building Bovcnty flvo feet high. If tho shorter ladder Is two-thirds tho length of tho other, what Is tho length of each? '"Why didn't ho measure each lad dor separately?" John nsked himself. "That problem Is not practical. I guess dad Is older than I thought. I want an oldor book." Tho text book written In 18G8 was handed to him. Tho book was evi dently influenced by the Civil war, for it was filled with problems dealing wth battering down fortifications and tho sustennnco of soldiers. Ono problem wns: "If twclvo pieces of cannon, eighteen pounders, can batter down a fortress in threo hours, how long will It take for nineteen twenty-four pounders to batter down tbo samo fortress?" ""That's flno for a general," John re flected, "but dad saya that I am going to bo a captain of industry."

Then thoy vowed thoy nover would apeak to each other again. Tho other thrco partners saw that If this courso woro pursued it would spell ruin.
