Inc latest evidence of this Is the
announcement made this week by the
Bishop Trust company of its intention
TO open ladies' department on the
hrst OF January. Some people might
can this catering for the trade of the
iadies. Others see II as a necessity
OF the times. Women are taking N
more active hand in business. They
