DEAR FOLKS:

W YOU Mr. ln0maS T.. Will
son, President of Wilson &
Company, Chicago, who, in
the business world is try
ing honestly to live up to
the ideals that Abraham
Lincoln implanted in our
individual life. -.
Mind you, "associate-work-
ers' to him means every
worker in his organization
members of the official
family, office-workers and
day-laborers. They are all
alike to him.
he measures d man or wo-
man by his or her character
his or her devotion to
duty-his or her conception
Of the meaning of brother
hood and sisterhood of men
and women.
He has no frills about him.
He is plain Thomas E. Will
son - worker and man -
with a heart that pumps
real red blood through his
veins and makes him love
his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
him thoughtful and kind
makes him anxious to serve
them in every possible way
makes him long for their
happiness and contentment.
Mr.. Wilson was the head
of another great business
three years ago, but he did
not own the business.
He rose from the ranks of
the humblest workers in
the organization to the
presidency thereof.
He climbed to success with
out incurring the envy of
any of his associate-work-
erS.
He has played the part of
a real man all through his
business life.
He has always had the ad-
miration and affection of
fellow-workers because he
has always played fair with
all of them.
His present associate-wOrk-
ers tell me, many of whom
have wn him and
worked alongside of him
for twenty-five years, that
he is the same Thomas E.
Wilson-the same genuine,
whole-souled, kindly, con-
siderate man he was when
he was earning $4,000 a
week.
Financial success has not
turned his head; it has not
closed his heart, in its SYM
pathy and it's action, for the
good and the comfort and
the cOntentment and happi-
ness of those who work
with him and for him.
Had he been content with
mere smOney success he
would not have undertaken
the development of the
business in the same line to
which he has given his un-
divided attention for over a
quarter of a century.
If money only appealed
to him. he woul d have
stepped into middle life a
very successful man-with
the power to buy every
thing he or the members of
his family might wish
with the power to crafty
his charitable inclinations
and to satisfy any fads OF
fancies that he m i G h t
adopt.

humane ana unusual stand
ards of business practice
gave him new inspiration in
his work.
1t was only three years ago
in March of this year That
Mr.. Wilson gave his name
and his energy and his abil-
ity and his heart to the
business of Wilson & Com
pany.
| asked many people while
/ was in Chicago what was
the name Of the business
firm to which the name
Wilson & Company had
been given.
Not a single one could tell
me.
All they knew was that the
name Wilson & Company
had become very we'll and
very favorably known and
that it stands for the high
est ideals in business prac-
tice-that it stands for the
highest principles in serv-
ice to the public-facts
that are borne out by the
statement that the busi-
ness has more than trebled
in volume in three years.
Everywhere I go-and I
meet hundreds of people
every week of my life-I
hear that Mr.. Wilson puts
more heart and soul into
business than any man
they ever heard of.
Chicago people are very
proud of the name Wilson.
They think that Wilson &
Company, by their meth
DDS and the heart they put
into the business, are add
ing to the fame of Chicago.
1t is a splendid test of q
mans character and his
popularity when his home
town people speak UP for
him enthusiastically and
affectionately as Chicago
people do speak of Thomas
E. Wilson. -
You know, folks, that this
is true, don't you?
You have examples in
your home town, haven't
you?
You know the men and
women in your community
who play the game of life
on the level.
And how you like them,
don't you?
But the best certificate of
character that any man
can receive is that given to
him by the men and women
whom he comes in daily
contact.
| like Mr.. Wilson person
ally very much. l think he
is liked very much by
everybody that meets him
but l have not formed
my impressions, of him
through personal contact.
I haven't seen Mr.. Wilson
often or very long at a
time. | don't think l have
spoken to him as many
words as there are in this
letter to you.
What l have learned about
him / have learned by ask
> ing people in Chicago and
in other cities; but I got
my real look into his heart
and his character and his
b u S in e S S principles by
mingling with his associ-
ate-workers.

KOREANS AROUSE LAPS

PEKING. March 12-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-The independence move ment in Korea is becoming more wide spread, according to reports from pri- vate sources in that country. Trouble was anticipated on the occasion of the funeral of Prince Vi, and the Japanese called in gendarmerie from outlying stations. Forestalling this. the Korean national leaders arranged the inde- pendence day demonstrations two days earlier, thus catching the Japanese un- prepared.
 Eventually the situation was restored but not before thousands had been ar rested
 The Korean independence manifesto calls upon the people to rise and make a peaceful demonstration of their in dependence, but under no circumstance es to use force. The document is dig nified in tone.
 Students of the Ping Yang Presby- terian theological church were seized. stripped and tied to rough wooden crosses, which they Sere obliged to carry through the city. their Japanese captors saying that as their Father had borne the cross, they too, should have the privilege of bearing it. The Koreans demand that Japan's advisory control shall continue cnly until such time as the league of nations considers the Koreans fit for self gov ernment.
