Perth Amboy,


Dear Helen and Girls:
l have been taking much Interest
in your letters which appear from
time to time in our daily paper. You
know, girls, Father Time Isn't a re-
spector of persons, and there comes
q time when he sweeps you out of the
teen age no matter how much you de-
sire to hnger. Sad to say. I have met
that fate. But eve Father Time has
mt been successful in taking away
my interest for girls of the teen age.
l love them and envy them.
My real purpose In writing to you
Is to express my opinion as an older
girl. about having q Y. w. C. A. in
Perth. We older girls do want a Y.
W. c. A. and have wanted one for a
long time. / think when they named
Perth, The Pace Making City" most
of us wondered, IL 1t would be a real
pacemaking city and furnish us with
our long looked for Y. w. C. A.
When fine Y. M. c. A. was built
we were glad to think that the boys
We're to have such a fine building but
don't you think we felt badly n ]
might say j%ealous7 Many of us wish
ed, for once, we were boys
I often read that they are requiring
physical training for such a length of
time each day in our schools. I won
der how they a really expect a
teacher to do her best along that lin
unless she herself keeps In trim and
that isn't possible unless the commu-
nifty offers her some place to which
she can go and exercise. Wouldn't the
Z. w. G. A. be just the place for her?
| mention the teacher because she has
many young lives under her guidance.
/ did want to write more reasons
why we older girls want a Y. w.
A.. but i guess this will do for my
first attempt.

You have outlined a reason for the

i'm this letter I take great
1 pleasure in introducing
to you Mr.. Thomas E. Will
son, President Of Wilson &
Company, Chicago, who, in
the business world is trying
honestly to live up to the
ideals that Abraham Lin
coin implanted in our indi-
vidual 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 a man or wo-
man by his or her character
his or her devotion to
duty-lis 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 Observation-Disclosures
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 presi-
dency thereof.
He climbed to success with
out mourning 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 adj
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 known him and worked
alongside Of him for twenty
five years, that he is the
same Thomas E. Wilson
the same genuine, whole
souled, kindly, considerable
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 it's SYM
pathy and its 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 III Oney success he
would not have undertaken
the development Of the bust
ness 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 would have stepped
into middle life a very sue
cessful an = with the
power to buy everything he
or the members of his fam
lily might wish-with the
power to crafty his chart
table inclinations and to-
satisfy any fads or fancies
