Practical People

When people discuss their “practical” friends, they speak of those capable of putting their experience and skill to some useful purpose, and include both actually and factually practical people. Builders, engineers and architects and manufacturers deal with actual physical things while lawyers, accountants and actuaries deal with less tangible facts and belong to the factually practical group.

The builders responsible for our roads, bridges and buildings embrace a group of practical men who devised running-boards around wind-swept, glacier-paved mountains. They not only grooved ledges where once only an eagle could roost, but also ran roads through bush and muskeg to the icy reaches of the Arctic. These men conquer topography by bridges to span roaring rivers, reach across the ocean’s bay, and even put hinges on the Golden Gate.

Architects who design, and construction men who build our homes, erect our schools and hospitals, dream up dams and levees, power plants and water works, have developed construction until it rates as the largest U.S. industry. Either directly or indirectly about 15 per cent of the nation’s total employment revolves around this tremendous drive to build something bigger and better.

Lawyers devote their time to dealing with physical facts while accountants and actuaries wrestle with fiscal facts
… but whether it’s fiscal or physical, these practical people leave little to chance in determining the “why” of things.
