By his employees Mr. Geo. W. Childs was fairly idolized; yet he
demanded of every man the full measure of his duty, but he paid
the best of wages. His rule was that every man should receive
more than enough for a living--receive a compensation enabling
him to lay something by for a rainy day. He encouraged thrift
and providence among all in his employ. He surrounded them with
every comfort, introduced for their benefit every appliance
conducive to health, and annually, at Christmas-time, every
person in his employ was substantially remembered.--Washington
_Craftsman_.
