There is a human need; there is a great fortune. Now, then, get up a collar button and get rich." THERE IS A HUMAN NEED THERE IS A GREAT FORTUNE NOW THEN GET UP A COLLAR BUTTON AND GET RICH
Lawson, in his _Frenzied Finance_ says that man is the richest man in old Massachusetts, and I think it is the truth. And that man is worth a hundred millions of dollars to-day, and has been only thirty-four years making it on that one principle--that one must judge that what his own children like at home other people’s children would like in their homes, too; to judge the human heart by oneself, by one’s wife or by one’s children. It is the royal road to success in manufacturing. “Oh,” but you say, “didn’t he have any capital?” Yes, a penknife, but I don’t know that he had paid for that. I spoke thus to an audience in New Britain, Connecticut, and a lady four seats back went home and tried to take off her collar, and the collar-button stuck in the buttonhole. She threw it out and said, “I am going to get up something better than that to put on collars.” Her husband said: “After what Conwell said to-night, you see there is a need of an improved collar-fastener that is easier to handle. NEY AND THEN A LITTLE MORE AND MISTER LAWSON IN HIS FRENZIED FINANCE SAYS THAT A MAN CAN BE THE RICHEST MAN IN OLD MASSACHUSETTS AND I THINK IT IS THE TRUTH AND THAT MAN IS WORTH HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DAY HE HAS BEEN ONLY THIRTY FOUR YEARS MAKING IT ON THAT ONE PRINCIPLE THAT ONE MUST JUDGE WHAT HIS OWN CHILDREN LIKE AT OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN WOULD LIKE IN THEIR HOMES TOO TO JUDGE THE HUMAN HEART BY ONE'S SELF BY ONE'S WIFE OR ONE'S CHILDREN IT IS THE ROYAL ROAD TO SUCCESS IN MANUFACTURING OH BUT YOU SAY HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CAPITAL YES A PENKNIFE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE HAD PAID FOR IT I SPOKE THUS TO AN AUDIENCE IN NEW BRETON CONNECTICUT AND THE LADY FOUR SEAT BACK WENT HOME AND TRIED TO TAKE OFF HER COLLAR AND THE COLLAR BUTTON STUCK IN THE BUTTON HOLE SHE THREW IT OUT AND SAID I'M GOING TO GET UP SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT TO PUT ON COLLARS HER HUSBAND SAID BUT AFTER WHAT CONWELL SAID TO NIGHT YOU SEE THERE IS A NEED FOR AN IMPROVED COLLAR FASTENER THAT IS EASIER TO HANDLE
