Poor Boys Who Have Made It to the Top, April 25, 1925

Poor Boys Win Success

Joseph Wilshire, who 27 years ago took a $7-a-week job with the late Julius Fleischmann, yeast king, has been made president of the Fleisch yeast company, a $100 million corporation. And Wilshire is only 44, too!

Thirty-five years ago Saul Singer came to this country as an immigrant. Now he is vice-president of the Bank of the United States of New York City.

Joseph Gilbert, New York architect who has just built his 18th skyscraper, started his career in a telegraph office at $7 a week.

During the war Harry Sturgis found a “buddy” in W.V.C. Ruxton. The latter was instrumental in getting Sturgis a job. Now, at the age of 31, Sturgis has been elected a director of the Erie railroad.
