But how and where?
The answer he found one afternoon when standing before the shop-window of a baker in the neighborhood.

The owner of the bakery, who had just placed in the window a series of trays filled with buns, tarts, and pies, came outside to look at the display.

He found the hungry boy wistfully regarding the tempting-looking wares.
"Look pretty good, don't they ?" asked the baker.
"They would," answered the Dutch boy with his national passion for cleanliness, "if your window were clean." "That's so, too," mused the baker.

"Perhaps you'll clean it." "I will," was the laconic reply.

And Edward Bok, there and then, got his first job.
