Boyhood Pal Is Sought by Ex-Newsie,Now Rich

Discarded Paper Gave Pair Start for Fortune; One Prospered. Bu "SEA Ern ie* DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 22.—There’s one man, Herman Klar, wealthy owner of seven jewelry stores in the "southwest, would like to meet, and he’s Charlie Davis of Chicago —other identifying marks unknown. It was thirty-six years ago this month that Klar, then a tough little Chicago west sider, and Charlie Davis started the business romance that has made Klar rich. They were street urchins of 11 and they made their first penny when they grabbed a newspaper dropped by an elderly man and ran off and sold it. Pennies Multiplied That penny bought two papers; the two pennies bought four, and so on the pennies multiplied throughout a busy **ay. At last, Klar sc paper to an old Dutchman who was polishing a saloon floor. Absentmindedly, the old man handed him a coin. Instead of a nickel, it was ass gold piece. Rich, the two boys bought cheap pistols for $1.65 each. A relative heard about it and made the merchant refund the money. Then there was that immense fortune—more than $5. Charlie didn’t do so well; perhaps wealth ruined him. Klar, with an instinct for merchandising, used his half to start a little business. It grew'. Started 36 Years Ago Today he has jewelry stores in Dallas, Ft. Worth and Beaumont. Tex.; Muskogee and Tulsa, Okla., and Shreveport, La. “Just got to thinking about it,” Klar mused. ‘‘Thirty-six years ago this month. A pilfered newspaper and a $5 gold piece that an old saloon worker thought was a nickel. I’ve done pretty well with it, and I want to go up to Chicago BUSINESS GAIN SEEN More Men Are at Work in City, Says C. of C.

FIRE STATIONS MAY AID POLICE RADIOSYSTEM WMDZ Receiving Sets Would Be Placed Throughout City Under Plan. Installation of receiving sets for WMDZ, police radio broadcasting station, in the thirty-two fire stations throughout the city, is being discussed by Charles R. Myers, safety board president. “Crimes often occur in the vicinity of these engine houses and, although firemen, of course, would not be expected to act as policemen, they could be of great value as observers,” Myers said. The plan has been approved by Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell. Installation of the sets in all of the stations would cost $3,000, it is said. * - Young Motorist Killed Bu United Press WIN AM AC, Ind., Aug. 22.
