It is well that young men should begin at the beginning

　　and occupy the most subordinate positions.

　　Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility

　　thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career.

　　They were introduced to the broom,

　　and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office.

　　I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices,

　　and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of a business education.

　　But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning,

　　the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom.

　　It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary.

　　I was one of those sweepers myself.

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started,

　　my advice to you is aim high.

　　I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner

　　or the head of an important firm.

　　Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk,

　　or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive.
