UNION RECORDER. MILLEDGEVILLE. GEORGIA. JUNE 30. 1927
YOUNG ARE LIVING
TOO HIGH,” SAYS
Thomas Snail. 91-Ymr-Old House
Painter, Calls Extravagance Vicious.
Extravagance is the most vicious
of modern tendencies, Thomas Snell,
associate of J. I*. Morgan, K. Fulton
Cutting and other prominent New
Yorkers on Cooper Union’s demo
cratic board of trustees, said as he
rounded out his eighty-third year as
a house puinter in Greenwich Vil
lage.
Mr. Snell, who last month reached
hi> ninety-first birthday, began as an
apprentice in the Washington Square
district at the age of 8. He is still
active with his paint and brush in
the homes of the wealthy
about New York and finds as much
time as ever for sendee to Cooper
Union and to other philanthropic en
terp rises.
The young people of today hav
too much for their own good and
are living far above the level of their
actual requirements, Mr. Snell de
clare 1 in his paint shop at 55 Irving
Place, believed to be the oldest
the city.
‘ American boys and girls make
n. .ey easily, but spend it unwisely,”
Mr. Snell went on. “Because they
are capable of earning $40 or $50
a week now they believe they will
always earn that much and instead
of practicing thrift they spend their
money for unnecessary things.
•'Time« have changed, indeed, in
New York since I was a boy. Me
chanics received $1 a day previous
to the civil war. A man who had a
steady income of $1,000 a year was
considered well-to-do and he was.
“Now mechanics receive $14 a day
and plumbers are striking for a sim
ilar amount. New York has long
since passed the ‘soup-houM.*’ stage,
but if a financial crash should come
or even lower wages and less pros
perity there will be a radical change.
People should learn now to live with-
Rc-calU Old New York.
Mr. Snell remembers when the ter
ritory above Twenty-third street was
the country and went in swimming
at Thirty-fccond street and Fourth
f TEST O’ TEN
Only by constant exercising the
mind can it remain keen and active.
Without a stimulant it becomes stag
nant. That’s why we highly recom
mend this “Test o’ Ten" as being not
an amusing interesting pastime, but
also a highly profit bale one. The
questions included have been com-
piled by one who has bee^ n.kinc £ aln perS Spend
questions for a long
who knows what people know, what
they want to know, and what they
should know. What is your score

“The business section ninety years
ago was the Bowery,” he said.
“When 1 was a boy, living in a small
frame house on Twelfth street, busi
ness interests gradually began to
move uptown.
“I attended a littl^ primary school
on Eleventh (street, and when 1 was
8 years old I began my apprentice
ship in my father's paint shop. I am
still painting for the seventh genera
tion of those first customers—the
old Knickerbocker families of New
York.
“The first fireproof building in
New York was the Cooper Union In
stitute, built in 1853, and for which
Peter Cooper used iron beams. My
father painted that building, and
»<ir.ce that time our shop has had
chnrge of keeping the buildings of
the institute painted and in good re
pair.
"My father established his paint
business in 1874, when the canal ran
through Canal street and into the
Hudson river. In those days a pain
ter had to serve seven years before
he was considered expert. Most
young people now believe they can
learn anything in seven weeks. Bus
iness conditions have changed, of
course, but people have changed still
Mr. Snell was wounded four times
in the first battle of Bull Run during
the civil war and does not know of!
a single comrade now living. He is J
also the only member left of New
York’-* first volunteer fire depart
ment.
Although he has entered his tenth
decade Mr. Snell is still actively en
gaged in the painting business, su
pervising the work of 175 men. He
is connected with hospital and other
charity institutions in New York, to
which he frequently contributes the
services of his paint shop.
