His of a boy, born in poverty, a goal to which he strived through all the early vicissitudes of ence. irths in Lockport, N.Y, on M 19, 1879, was an event e potent ~than any one in/ {own realized. Ta tell the pon didn't think so much of ob boy while he dwelt it. The Raskob family was ori isinally 1; from Alsace, of German and | rench blood, and they were not comsidered of any particular account there. His First Job $5 a Week: Raskob had plenty of - ambition. After his father died and it became very necessary for him to earn money he said: "I want money and I'm going to make it--a lot of it!" He must have had an intuition of the twelve children that were to come along while he was still a young man. Writing in the New York Sum, Edwin C, Hill tells that Raskob studied stenpgraphy and bookkeeping and then got himself a job at §5 a week. That was 30 years ago and $5 wasn't so feeble, Later Johnny insisted on $7.50 a week and then after six months notified his thrifty boss that $10 a week would be about right now. When that got around Lockport began to suspeet that the boy was riding for a fall, He didn't get the increase, though, and decided to quit. He wrote to a friend in Lo-|. Ti Ohio, to ask if there was any- t doing there, The friend wrote back that a man named P, S. du Pont, who was running the stréct railways there, hadn't been able to find the secretary he wanted. Raskob wate du Pont telling how good he 3 Jad that his salary would be a year, pS ten days Johany Raskebh was working for Pierre S. du Pout as his secretary and that 'was the beginning of his climb to riches and celebrity, Raskolx. progressed rapidly.

They bought t 23.000 shares and then found their surprise, that they held the lance power, because the 160,000 shares of the company happened to about evenly divided between twa 'séts who wanted control. That was the way they got into the company, and their 3,000 shares were so potent a factor that du Hn was made chairman of the Board and Raskob became a direct- or.. Du Pont says today that he on- ly bought the stock to stop Raskob bothering him about it, In his interview with Raskob, Ed- win Hill says he was impfessed with him, He's small-sized, scarcely five fect, seven--with a good big head and a notably high forehead. He's a deeply religious man, devoted to his church, the Roman Catholic, though he doesn't talk much about it, The Pope has heaped honors upon him, making him a Knight of Malta and a4 Knight of St. Gregory and Private Chamberlain, Only a little while ago he gave a million dollars fo the Ca- tholie diocese of Wilmirgton, Del, 'where he makes his. home and ofii- ciates as a vice-president of E. I, du Pont de Nemours & Co, that had been making powder sinee the Revolutionary war. He has twelve children. As he remarked, "all sizes," He laughed and pointed "to the twelve pictured in a long, Jpanneled strip, which stood upon his desk, the two young men in Yale and so on down the line to the littlest girl, "You sce I had to make money."
