One man and
his town
A man by himself is just— one man.
Multiply him by hundreds or thousands
or millions and he becomes a town or a
city or nation.
If he gets on in the world so will dozens
or hundreds or thousands of his asso
ciates. If he fails, so will a greater or
less number of others—for no one man
can succeed by himself.
Because of this fact of human nature •
our bank exists to help you succeed.
You are invited to take advantage of

GOLDEN ERA HERE;
HOBOS QUIT ROAD
TO LOOK FOR JOBS
MEN WHO USED TO SPEND WIN
TER IN PRISON NOW ACTU
ALLY DEMANDING JOBS
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—(AP).—Wall
Street is not the only indication of
the nation’s prosperity. Down along
the cold shadows of the Bowery,
and up in the chilly confines of
Madison Square Park, where in
come-tax reports cause no worry,
New York’s great “leisure class”
has decided to go to work. The
cheerful philosophers of the park
bench have felt the call of labor.
At the State Employment bureau,
where a man can apply for any kind
of work and usually get it, they
find themselves for the first time in
years with more applicants than
jobs. Men who formerly were con
tent to accept a nice, soft jail sen
tence for the Winter have Hooded
the bureau with demands for work.
Every day there are at least 100
more applicants than places. Weary
eyed men of the Bowery have sud
denly remembered that once they
were artisans, with trades — brick
laying, carpentry, plumbing.
In the offices of the Charity Or
ganization society the records show
that in the last two days forty-nine
homeless men applied for work. This
is ten more per day than applied in
October and November. Anything
that is work is accepted by the erst
while hoboes. Porters, doormen and
cooks’ occupations seem to be the
chosen branches at this office. And
it is not unusual, according to Miss
MacNamara, who is in charge of
the employment division, to see a
dreamy-eyed man come in and ask
for a chance to play a part in
“Hamlet” again.
When the cold weather suddenly
swooped down upon the great city,
charity organizations looked for
ward to the usual rush for shelter.
But the golden era has arrived.
Madison Square harbors only the
few faithful characters who feel it
a violation of secred principle to
think of work. The Salvation Army
reported that during this last cold
spell there were no hordes clamor
ing for warmth and shelter. Some
still do clamor, but it is the opinion
of the various charity organizations
that the great “army” is being de
serted.
Said the cynical policeman at
Madison Square, whose stick is
worn from years of slapping thin
leather soles: “They’re gone; and
they must be working—but I can’t
believe it. It’s too good to be true.”
