THOUGHTS
BY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
SELECTING A MAN
PICKING out the right man for the place, It often measure
the difference between success and failure in a business.
More often It measures the difference between a mod
crate success and a phenomenal one.
Twenty or more years ago a carriage factory was started
with the Idea of doing things In an original way, and a man
was chosen to carry out the Idea. He had had no previous
experience In that line, but he had the right Idea and grasped
the plan enthusiastically. The work began on a simple scale,
0 that the Inexperienced man was. able to feel his way. The
business grew until It attained great proportions. The same
man Is still at the head of It, not as the owner, but as the
manager. He proved to be the right man for the place. It
would be difficult to Imagine how he might have made the
business more successful In that particular line.
In thinking of this the thought occurred to me, suppose
some other man had been chosen In the beginning. 8uppose
he had had wide experience, but a different Idea. He might
have made more rapid progress at the start, or he might have
turned the whole business Into other channels and have given
It a different character. He might not have been able to grow
up with It, or might havo left It after the first year'a trial.
The present greatness of the business might have been un
known to-day If It hadn't been that the right man was chtjsen
when the business was small.
