HEBERLEIN, Losing his mother at the tender age of five years, Thos. F. Ryan’s battle with adversity began in earn est. Leaving his ancestral home in the south, made desolate by the rebellion, at the age of 17, penniless, but too proud to seek aid from family or friends, he bravely set out to make his way in the world. His first stop was in Baltimore, Maryland. Day after day he sought employment. Time after time was be re fused. At last, in the depths of despair, he found a vacancy in the dry goods house of John S. Barrv. He was told to report for work the next morning. Exper ience had taught him the dangers in delay. Calmly re moving his coat and hat, he declared his intention of beginning the job at once. After two years of service, attracted by his ability and determination, his em ployer offered him a position in the banking house he had established in New York. Here he learned the first principles of finance and laid the foundation of his career as an executive financier. His marvelous success, culminating in a fortune written in millions, is obviously due to his indomitable will power and un relenting determination. A little will power to start a savings account in this bank, a little determination to add to it regularly, may some day make you a Thomas F. Ryan. Sold by PAGE FIVE Lancaster, ‘ Wisconsin
