Success Is Within Reach of Every Youth Who
Will Work Hard, Forget the Clock, Be Loyal,
Say Bank Officers Who Began as Messengers
Here la some sound advice to the
(youth of today. It is furnished by
three Omahans. elected recently to
executive offices in an Omaha bank.
They started at the bottom of the
business ladder as bank messengers.
They say:
“Don't watch the clock. The sign
on the bank which reads, 'Open from
10 a. m. to 3 p. m.’ is 'the bunk.’
“Hustle and work hard. When
your opportunity conies be ready to
grab it."
“Be loyal. Make friends for the in
stitution that employs you. Never
double-cross a lrlend."
This is the advice given by the
three newly elected officers of the
United States National bank.
They are Robert V. Morsman,
elected president, and Gwyer H.
Yates and Thomas Murphy, vlce^ires
ldents. ■ *
Of the three men, Yates and Mur
phy say they have had to woijk as
long as they can remember. Neither
of them finished the grade schools.
Started at $15 a Month.
Morsman started working as a
messenger at the bank during vaca
tions while attending the University
of Michigan. His salary was $15 a
month. He is today the oldest banker
in Omaha in point of service. It was
he who said “don't watch the clock.”
Dwyer H. Yates is one of those
men who has had to ''hustle” all his
life. His father died when he was 10
and in the sixth grade at school. The
family consisted of nine children, and
all had to go to work.
"My first job was that of a messen
ger boy," he recalled. “I delivered
packages all over the city. Then I
started selling chewing gum on the
streets of Omaha. Had a tray fitted
up with packages of gum.”
Attended Night School.
But he believed in education. When
the time came that he could go to
night school, he started at tho Y. M.
C. A. He has since taken a two-year
course in night law schools, and cor
respondence courses with the Ameri
can Institute of Banking.
"Boys should be taught the nobility
of working, and saving," he declares.
"It doesn't hurt a hoy to work. When
I worked as a messenger boy at a
druggist store, I had too get to the
store at 6:45 a. m., and didn't get
away until 6:15 p. m. On Saturday I
worked until midnight."
Thomas MuVphy probably knows
more Omahans than any other man
in the city.
He advises the youth of today to
be loyal to his employer." Loyalty is
one of the two big assets every boy
should acquire," Mr. Murphy Bald.
The other asset is the acquiring of
friends.
"Make friends, plenty of them, and
when you do hold them. They can
do you a world of good when the op
portunity presents Itself, Never, under
any condition, double-cross a friend.”
Began ns Farmer Boy.
Mr. Murphy is* another of the
group of rising banking executives in
Omaha who had a hard row to hoe
to reach the position he now holds.
He was born on a farm at Rogers.
Neb. His family was not wealthy and
Thomas, when 11 years old, had to
quit school and take his place on the
farm.
When these men started In the
bank, bank messlngers were receiv
ing the magnificent sum of $15 a
month. Today the same boi- receives
$50 a month.
"Time, service and loyalty," Is the
creed they are sounding to the youth
of today who wishes to succeed.
"And start at the bottom of the lad
der,” said the three bankers unani
mously, "Don't try to start half-way,
with a pull, and expect to reach the
top.”
FISH FROZEN IN
ICE ARE SPOILED
M. J. Jonejil 4545 Burdette street,
reported, after a visit to Horseshoe
lake. Child’s point, that 25 per cent
of the fish being dug ouj of the ice
are spoiled. He believes illness may
result if the fish are eaten. He
brought a bag full of the fish to
The Omaha Bee office. They were
spoiled. That was very evident.
Mr. Jones said 200 persons were
engaged in digging the fish from the
ice Saturday morning.
Among breast fed babies, how-el
diseases are comparatively rare.
He Will Organize
Bee Newsboys’ Band
Think of the fun of playing in a
hand and maybe wearing uniform!
.Sixty Omaha Boe newsboys applied to
join the band being organized under
direction of W. L. Dodson, who has
been engaged by The Dee for this
purpose.
The Calhoun Junior band played af
the Hotel Ttome Friday evening at a
meeting nf Dee newsies. Though the
hand was organized only 31 months
ago by Mr. Dodson, the youngsters
played very well.
