He had found nothing, and was almost ready to start back to his home when in front of Warrens photographic establishment he read the sign, "boy wanted". Up two flights of stairs he climbed, and as he happened to be the first applicant he was put to work at a salary most surprisingly small. In a little over 10 years after he had entered Mr. Warrens employ as office boy he succeeded that gentleman in the business, he becoming sole proprietor of the establishment.
