“Each day after that men came

Gamesh. "Often. as many as

we were always left with a gain of
one or two. I kept telling the boys

weren't particular about the quality.

We reopened in February. 1009. By

hundred and twenty men on our

two thousand two hundred men had
gone through our hands.
"The next five years were an ab.

with the men and the union. We also
had aroubic with internal division.
We were losing money and discon-

“Through the perseverance and

of men," he answered. "Through
our reputation as a great and hon.
ored house. Through the splendid
work of our sales force. and
through the marvelous loyalty of
our customers."
The General Manager himself did
much toward effecting the rehabili-
tation by making trips to all' parts
of the country and establishing cor-
dial personal relationships.
In 1913 Mr. James II. Knapp
died. In 1916, his son. Mr. Philip
Knapp, became president of the arm
and John Cavsnegh was made vice-
prcsldent. Owing to the ill health
of Mr. Philip Knapp. the entire
management of the affairs fell to
the new vice-president.
Since 1913 he had again begun to
realize his ambition of. running the
factory one hundred per cent of the
time. Then came the war and .with
the impetus it gays to industry.
Crofut b Knapp came back solidly.
Because of wise buying and an an-
ticipation of trade conditions. they
did not feel the post-war slump.

John Cavansgh always has some
dream to realise. As soon as the
rehabilitation was accomplished. he
turned himself toward another
achievement. Crofut a. Knapp had

ambition Cavanagh had to interest
two million dollars‘ worth of capi-

The financial output of the busi-

“Never." he replied promptly.
