Largest Steel Company?
2. President Of The Largest Gas Company?

These men should have been considered some
of the world's most successful men. At least they found the secret
of making money. Now, after over 70 years later, do you know what
has become of these men?
1. The President of the largest steel company,
Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
2. The President of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson, died insane.
3. The President of the N.Y.S.E., Richard
Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger,
died abroad, penniless.
5. The President of the Bank of International
Settlement shot himself.
6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee

The same year, 1923, the winner of the most
important golf championship, Gene Sarazan, won the U.S. Open and
PGA Tournaments. He was still playing golf at 90 and solvent.
Moral: Don't worry about business and concentrate
on your golf!
