How Zeal And Faith In Ideal Accomplished Results Which Appears Impossible An er mr The public is always anxious to know something about men who achieve great things and as it can be rated as something out of the ordinary for an individual to build up a business whicn in a couple of years has in operation 225 offices, stores, shops, cafterias, etc. it is only natural that people would like to know how L. R. Steel came to undertake such an unusual proceed- ing. Some men are born to greatness while others reach the goal by the application of natural business abil- ity to a great ideal. The record of L. R. Steel in the chain store business indicates that he is one of the latter class. : Ambition Realized Mr. Steel is only in his forty-fifth year but one of the secrets of his The company is officered by a clas: of men who are fully imbued with thc L.

Well-Balanced Organization, What seems to some a maze o' companies operating under one head to attain the central objective o"| building up a chain of retail store is one of the stumbling blocks to al clear realization of the plan of cam ! paign. A little study of the system will, however, clarify that amazing ly.

Then ther: is a company to sell the variou: shares to people with the purpose of providing the necessary capital to buy the goods with which to stock the shelves of the stores with the various classes of goods required. Then there is another company to look after the leasing and building of suitable places of business. The first may be described as the mer- chandising company, the second the financing company and the third the realty company. The financing com- pany naturally anticipates the needs of the operating companies and looks after the merchandising as well as the other subsidiaries which are de- signed to act as feeders to the mer- cantile side of the business. This function will he maintained until the system is completely rounded out and the stores are in a state of financial independence and are in a position to provide their own working capital and enable the company to distribute atractive profits to the public in re- turn for their investments.

Mary MacLaren, who has starred in many successful pictures, and one of the popular beauties of the screen was chosen to play the leading feminine role opposite Mr. Reid in this new production.' She has a de- lightful role of secretary to an auto- mobile manufacturer who is secret- ly in love with the manufacturer's son. In a transcontinental race, she dons the mechanicians overalls and drives at breakneck speed beside the star, undergoing with him, all the thrills encountered when travelling at a dizzy speed in a racing car. 'Theodore Roberts, one of the most popular actors on the screen and a genuine artist, plays Wallace Reid's father. His name is on a par with many present day stars in drawing power and popularity.
