wanted to see how the companies
would respond at a test alarm, SO he
called them Saturday night at II
O'Clock for fire drill at Jefferson and
High streets
great deal of i'll feeling has been

The result was that the companies
that knew of the drill, were ready
and were able to respond at once,
while the others did not arrive until
some minutes later.

The Beginning.
Away back in the SOS, Marshall

Chicago as clerk In the employ of
J. ". Farwell. Working for the same
arm at the time was another young
man, Levi 2. Letter. who later became
Marshall Fields associate in business.
Referring to those early years. Mr..
Farwell says:
Levi z. Letter and Marshall Field
were both clerks OF ours. When the
war broke out we took them In as part

The business conditions of the country
at that time were something unexam-
pied before or since. The war changed

WESTERN CANADA'S

a corresponding increase will not re-

crease has been particularly noticeable
in what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September 1, 1905, became the prov

But it is Marshall Field the third
upon whom the attention OF the pub

in the contemplation Of 12-year-old

BY the few men who have been
privileged to observe the financial
operations Of Marshall Field this dash
into gold mining is said to come nearer
to speculation. in the modern meaning
of that word, than any other move the
multimilllonaire ever made.
And the career of this man should

boy who bears his name. but should
furnish an unfailing guide TO him in
