But for many, particularly immigrants, it means the opportunity to make a better life for themselves. For them the dream is that talent and hard work can take you from log cabin to White House. TonyTrivisonno did not rise quite so high, yet he managed to make his own dream e true.TONY TRIVISONNO'S AMERICAN DREAMFrederick C. CrawfordHe came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin. "I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to prehend his broken English. I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener. "I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I to turn away a person who had e to me for help? When I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weeded, and the walks swept. I asked my wife what had happened. "A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assumed you had hired him." I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not askedfor pay. The next two days were busy, and I forgot about Tony. We were trying to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plants. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the garage. I plimented him on the work he had done. "I mow your lawn," he said. I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each dayTony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix. Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. "Mr. Craw, snow pretty soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter e, you give me job clearing snow at the factory." Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, Tony got his job at the factory. The months passed. I asked the personnel departmentfor a report. They said Tony was a very good worker. One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want to be 'prentice," he said. We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained laborers. But I doubted whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprints and micrometers or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down? Tony took a cut in pay to bee an apprentice. Months later, I got a report thathe had graduated as a skilled grinder. He had learned to read the millionths of an inch on the micrometerand to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with a diamond. My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story. A year or two passed, and again I found Tony in his usualwaiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what he wanted. "Mr. Craw," he said, "I like a buy a house." On the edge of town, he had found a housefor sale, a plete wreck. I called on a banker friend. "Do you ever loan money on character?" I asked. "No," he said. "We can't afford to. No sale." "Now, wait a minute," I replied. "Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He's got a goodjob. You're not getting a damn thing from your lot. It will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest." Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgagefor $2,000 and gave Tony the house with no down payment. Tony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — Tony would gather and take home. After about two years, I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot. He seemed to stand a little straighter. He was heavier. He had a look of confidence. "Mr. Craw, I sell my house!" he said with pride. "I got $8,000."I was amazed. "But, Tony, where are you going to live without a house?" "Mr. Craw, I buy a farm." We sat down and talked. Tony told me that to own a farm was his dream. He loved the tomatoes and peppers and all the other vegetables important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunted around the edge of town until he found a small, abandoned piece of property with a house and shed. Now he was moving his family to his farm. Sometime later. Tony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed. He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America. Tony was sponsoring him. With an amused look in his eye, hetold me that when they approached the little farm he now operated, his friend stood in amazement and said, "Tony, you are a millionaire!" Then, during the war, a message came from my pany. Tony had passed away. I asked our people to check on his family and see thateverything was properly handled. They found the farm green with vegetables, the little house livable and homey. There was a tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and Tonydidn't owe a cent. After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony's career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists. They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity. Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tony's affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists' affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point. Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn't find it — he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.
