75ie Sfon o a Young Mans Remarkable Rise,
as Tola1 by Himself . -
j.
THREE years ago I was craning $30 per
week. "With" a wife- and two children to
support it was a constant struggle to
make both ends meet. We saved very little,
and that only by sacrificing things we really
needed. Today my, earnings average a thou- .
sand dollars weekly. 1 own two automobiles.
My children go to private schools. I have
just purchased, for cash, a $25,000 home. I
go hunting, fishing, motoring, traveling,,
whenever I care to, and I do less work than
ever before.
"What I have done, anyone can do for
I am only an average man. I have never .
gone to college, my education is limited, and
I am not "brilliant" by any means. I per
sonally know at least a, hundred men who
are better business men thai I, who are bet
ter educated, who are better informed on
hundreds of subjects, and who have much
better ideas than I ever had. Yet not one of
them approaches my earnings. I mention
this merely to show that earning capacity is
not governed by the extent of a man's edu
cation and to 'convince my readers that there
is only one reason for my success -a reason
I will give, herein.
One day, a few years ago, I began to "take
st-ck" of myself. I found that, like most other
men, I had energy, ambition? determination.
Yet in spite of these .assets, for some reason or
other I drifted along without getting anywhere.
My lack of education bothered me, and I had
thought seriously of making further sacrifices in
order to better equip myseff to earn more. Then
I read somewhere that but few miUionarles
ever went to college. Edison, Rockefeller, Hill,
Schwab, Carnegie not one of them had any
more schooling than I had.
One day something happened that woke me
up to what was wrong with me. It was neces
sary for me to make a decision on a matter
which was of no great consequence. I knew in
my heart what was the right thing to do, but
something held me back. I said one thing, then
another; I decided one way, then another. I
couldn't for the life of me make the decision I
knew was right.
I lay awake most of that night thinking about
the matter not because it was of any great
importance in itself, but because I was begin
ning to discover myself. Along towards dawn I
resolved to try an experiment. I decided to cul
tivate my will power, believing that if I did this
I would not hesitate about making decisions
th..t when I had an idea I would have sufficient
confidence in myself to put it "over" that I
would not be "afraid" of myself or of things or
of others. I felt that if I could smash my ideas
across I would soon make my presence felt. I
knew that heretofore I had always begged for
success had always stood, hat in hand, de
pending on others to "give" me the things I
desired. In short, I was controlled by the will
of others. Henceforth, I determined to have a
strong will of my own to demand and com
mand what I wanted
But how shall I begin? What shall I do first?
It was easy enough for mo to determine to do
things I had "determined" many times before.
But this was a q cation of will power, and I made
up my mind that the first step was to m..stor
up enough of my own will power to stick to and
carry out my determination.
With this new purpose in mind I applied my
self to finding out something more about will
power. I was sure that other men must have
studied the subject, and the results of their ex
perience would doubtless bo of great value to
me in understanding the workings of my own
will. So, with a directness of purpose that I had
scarcely known before, I began my search.
The results at first were discouraging. While
a good deal had been written about tho memory
and other faculties of the brain, I could find
nothing that offered any help to mo in acquiring
the new power that I had hoped might be pos
sible. But a little later in my investigation I en
countered the works of Prof. Frank Channing
Haddock. To my amazement and delight I dis
covered that this eminent scientist, whoso name
ranks with James, Bcrgson and Royco, had just
completed the most thorough and constructive
study of will power ever made. I was astonished
to read his statement, "The will is just as sus
ceptible of development as tho muscles of tho
body"! My question was answered! Eagerly I
read further how Dr. Haddock had devoted
twenty years to this study how ho bad so
completely mastered it that ho was actually able
?2et down the very exercises by which anyone
could develop tho will, making it a bigger,
stronger force each day, simply through an easy,
progressive course of Training.
It is almost needless to say that I at once be
gan to practice the exercises formulated by Dr.
Haddock And I need not recount the extra
ordinary 'results that I obtained almost from tho

ousness, has transformed unhappy, envious, dig

Prof. Haddock's lessons, rules and exorcises
in will training have recently been compiled and
published in book form by tho Pelton Publishing
Co., of Madden, Conn. Mr. Pelton has author
ized me to say that any reader who cares to
examine tho book may do so without sending
any money in advance. In other words, if after
a week's reading you do not feel that thin book
is worth $3, tho sum asked, return it and you
will owe nothing. When you receive your copy
for examination I suggest that you first road tho
articles on: the law of great thinking; how to
develop analytical power; how to perfectly con
centrate on any subject; how to guard againsrt
errors in thought; how to drive from Hie mind
unwelcome thoughts; how to develop fearless
ness; how to use tho mind in glcknoss; how to
acquire a dominating personality.
Some few doubters will scoff at tho idea of
will power being the fountainhead of wealth,
position and everything wo arc striving for, and
some may say that no mere book can teach tho
development of tho will. But tho great mass of
intelligent men and women will at least Investi
gate for themselves by sending for the book at
the publisher's risk. I am sure that any book
that has done for me and for thousands of
others what "Power of Will" has done is
well worth investigating. It is interesting to
note that among the 200,000 owners who have
read, used and praised "Power of Will", arc
such prominent men as Supremo Court Justice
Parker, Wu Ting Fang, Ex-U, S. Chinese Ambas
sador; Lieut.-Gov. McKclvIe of Nebraska; Assis
tant Postmaster-General Britt; General Manager
Christcson, of Wclls-Fargo Express Co., E. St.
E'mo Lewis; Governor Arthur Capper of Kansas,
and thousands of others.
