DEAR FOLKS

t was only three years ago IN
March of this year, that MIR. VIII
son gave his name and his energy
md his ability and his heart to the
business of Wilson & Company.
! asked many people while | was
IN Chicago what was the name of
the business firm to which the )
name Wilson e. Company had
been given.
Not single one could tell me. :,
All they knew was that the name
Wilson & Company had become
very well and very fsvorsbly
known and that it stands for the
highest ideals in business practice
that il stands for the highest
principles IN service to the public
facts that are borne out by the
statement that the business has
more than trebled in volume in
three years.
Everywhere go--and meet
hundreds of people every week
of my life-I hear that MIR. VII
son 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
methods and the heart they put
into the business, are adding to the
fame of Chicago.
It is a splendid test of a mans
character and his popularity when
his hometown people speak up.

fectionately as Chicago people do

You have examples IN your homey

who, in the business world, is try
ing honestly to live up to the
ideals that Abraham Lincoln I'M
planted in our individual life.
Mind you, "associate-workers," 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 woman by
his or her character-his or her
devotion to duty--his or her con-
ception of the meaning of broth
erhood and sisterhood of men and
women.
He has no frills about him.
He is plain Thomas E. WILSON,
worker and man-with a heart
that pumps real red blood through
his veins and makes him love his
fellow-worlkers - makes him
thoughtful and kind-makes him
anxious to serve them In every
possible way-makes him long
for their happiness and content
ment.
MIR. Wilson was the head of an
other great business three years
ago, but he did not own the busi-
ness.
He rose from the ranks of the
hurnblest workers in the organiza-
ton to the presidency thereof.
He climbed to success without IN
curing the envy of any of his as
sociate-workers
He has played the part Of real
man all through his business life.
He has always had the admiration
and affection of fellow-workers
because he has always played fair
with all of them.
His present associate-workers tell
me, many OF whom have known
him and worked alongside of him
for twenty-five years, that he is
he same Thomas E. Wilson-the
same genuine, whole-souled,
zindly, considerable man he was
when he was earning $4,000 a
week.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-In the house
of commons today Walter E. Guinness,
unionist member for suffolk, asked
Andrew Bonar Law. the government
leader, to give the days discussion ov-

not be a graceful act of reciprocity to
place at the disposal of the United
States the genefit of British expert
ence in governing negroes in return
for the discussion of Irish affairs in
the United States senate.
Capt. William Wedgewood Benn,
Liberal asked Mr., Bonar Law to do

Britain by alleged humorous questions
Mr.. Bonar Law said the govern
ment recognized the future peace of
the world depends upon the good re-
lations between the two countries.
