Mrs. Ora Snyder lives in a town of thirty thousand-Maywood, Illinois. Yet she started in business with the kitchen stove and ten cents' worth of ingredients. Her husband fell ill. She had to earn money. But how? No experience. No skill. No capital. Just a housewife. She took the white of an egg and sugar and made some candy on the back of the kitchen stove; then she took her pan of candy, stood near the school, and sold it to the children for a penny apiece as they went home. "Bring more pennies tomorrow," she said. "I'll be here every day with my home-made candy." During the first week, she not only made a profit, but had also put a new zest into living. She was making both herself and the children happy. No time now for worry. This quiet little housewifefrom Maywood, Illinois, was so ambitious that she decided to branch out to have an agent sell her kitchen-made candy in roaring, thundering Chicago. She timidly approached an Italian selling peanut on the street. He shrugged his shoulders. His customers wanted peanuts, not candy. She gave him a sample. He liked it, began selling her candy, and made a good profit for Mrs. Snyder on the first day. Four years later, she opened her first store in Chicago. It was only eight feet wide. She made her candy at night and sold it in the daytime. This timid housewife, who started her candy factory on her kitchen stove, now has seventeen stores -- fifteen of them in the busy Loop district of Chicago. Mrs. Ora Snyder, in May-wood, Illinois, instead of worrying about finances, did something positive. She started in an extremely small way to make money off the kitchen stove -- no overhead, no rent, no advertising, and no salaries. Where there is a will, there is a way.
