How He Did It A Texas newspaper publisher who retired with $50,000 in the bank was asked how he did it, and replied as follows: I attribute my ability to retire with a $50,000 bank account, after 30 years in the country newspaper field, to close applica­ tion to duty, always hewing to the mark and letting the chips fall where they may, the most rigorous rule of economy, never spending a cent foolishly, ever­ lastingly keeping at my job with a whole heart--and the death of an uncle who left me $199,999.50. --Thrift Magazine.
