Triter sketch of the Colonel's career
which we reproduce herewith, echo -

the people of his home town.
Windsor today congratulates CoL
F. H. Laing, partially by remote con-
trol, because be L observing his
eightieth birthday at bis summer
home in Godericb.
1. Basins• Shpty Years
la business here for the past sixty
Years. Colonel Laing pioneered a new
'octal order some time back-proat-
sharing wltb his employees. He en-
joyed tbe venture and found It a suc-
cess.
The passing years hare not dimmed
Ills Interest In current events, nor his
desire for better and more attractive
city. .One of his last acts before go-
ing to Godeeicb was to convey to The
WIndeor Star his plan for beautifica-
tion of the rlverfront from the Wal-
kervllle terry wharf to Ambaasador
Bridge.
It is because Col. Laing seeks to do
the square thing with his fellow toes
that be Inaugurated the system amend
1916 of tuning 55 per cent. of the set
profits back to his employees at Laing's
drug store on Ouellette ermine, be-
sides paying them good wages.
When the effect of the depression
began to be felt to 1900, there were
no profits to abate, so tbe Colonel
waived bis own income, retalaed ble
scale of pay and kept his employees
at work. A few years later the star
volunteered to take a eat.
Oculi Have Been =tali
While Colooel Lthag could have
been wealthy by keeping all profits,
his biggest kick to life has been to
watch his ideals Sourish.
"I'm not a Socialist or one of the
many odd fish Boating around these
days," he remarked on a former occa-
sion. He started bis profit -*haring
pian because be "thought 1t was the
decent thing to do."
When in Windsor the Colonel can
be found at his desk for at least a
few bourn daily. He looks after real
estate and insurance. He always
favors the idea of unemployment In-
surance.
Born in Toronto on July 10, 1850,
Colonel Laing mend to London at the
age of four, with his parents. He
came to Windsor in li*7u and has since
resided here. He has .ren the city
grow from a population of 3;000 10 and with him were his parents bis
