Get a One of thin board from a quarter to a half- inch thick, and have it cut 30 inches long, and from four to six inches wide, with rounded edges. Cover it with muslin, after padding it slight- ly and keep pressed into it, ready for use, four thumb tacks. Fasten to it with the thumb -tacks one end of the goods; then as the piece is opened, wrap the yardage around the board tight enough to smooth out any wrinkles that may be already in It. When the entire piece has been wrapped around the board, pin the loose end so it will not slip, Fold it in paper until it is needed, when it will be found In good condition. Several pieces of goods can be kept on the same board at a time, The wood used should be very light. These boards usually can be secured from a dry goods merchant. Heavy pasteboard makes a good substitute for wood. If one has not a hand a suitable board, a roll can he made of several sheets of newspaper the width of the goods. Wrap the silk or velvet fewtimes then put h roll 1 around the o a more paper on the outside of the goods and roll all together.

Many enquiries for Rew' r'i wheat, one of the card' rtpe:.'ng varieties evolved by the Canadian Government Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, are being received by the Dominion Cerealist. The farm will have 10,000 bushels of this new wheat for distribution. and the 350 growers who were allowed to grow Reward in 1021 will have a surplus of 2,000 beet: - els making available 12,000 bush- els for seed in 1529.

A gift of £600,000, to be used 115 a trust for the beaeflt 0f 110apltais and 00r home for orphans and crippled children, has centred attention on 11r. Bernhard Baron, the millionaire el- gat'ette manufacturer; Before this latest gift, Mr, Baron had already given £1,265,000 to charity, Yet apart from the foot of his benevolence, very few people know very much about him. Not one in a thousaud r•ealizee that the lite story of the great plllialthropist is one of the most wonderful romances of modora business. He emigrated, penniless and friend- less, to America from 'Russia at the age of sexteeu. At first he worked as a otragette maker, using his deft fin- gers. Then his busy brain hit on the idea of a cigarette -making machine. He invented it. He went to England, started in a small way, and built up the great firm of Carreras. Another story of an Idea that meant millions Is that of the Court- aulds. Rather more than a century ago aHuguenot f'nil , settled in ' Braintree Essex, bud wove silk 1n an old oak b •anted mill. The family worked themselves and a few outside hands were employed. The little business was handed down from generation to generation, n but bringing in its owners a competence, atece h no more, Then, ten years ago, a no- tion of making artificial silk (tame to a member of the Courtauld family. After many difficulties, and in the face of much scoffing, this novel fa- bric was put on the market. To -day no name is better known in the business world than that of Courtaulds Ltd., and the company re- cently distributed a share bonus of no less than £12,000,000. Lack of capital is often cited as a reason for business failure. Yet most of the vast businesses of to -day were founded and developed by men who bad to wrestle with this handicap. Take the case of the late Col. Mor- rison. He left over £2,000,000. Yet when his father, the founder of the great firm of Morrison, Dillon & Co., started in life he had just enough money to open a tiny shop, He in- augurated what was then the start- ling idea of small profits and quick returns. That was another idea that meant wealth. When the elder Morrison died he left a fortune that made every one of his seven children mil- lionaires. Incidentally, the State bonneted from the Morrison millions to tete tune of £11,000,000 in death dutlea. Years ago a little boy named Mack- intosh started to work at ten years of age. At twenty-one he married and opened a Iittle shop. Instead of stocking all sorts of sweets, he de- cided to sell but one. In a braes plot, at the back of the little shop, Mrs. Mackintosh boiled the first batches of the now world-famous toffee — a sweetmeat that mode. .John Mackin- tosh a millionaire, His "one sweet" idea hada held the germ of a great idea had held the germ of a gr -at As romantic was the start ofJos- eph Lyons, who was shrewd enough to ser= that London had nowhere to drop in for a cup of tea. He started one shop in 1894. To -day the mam- moth basin ss which has grown from that small beginning eerues some 10,- 000,000 meals a week. Many years ago an East End Jew started to import little shells for de- corating those old-fashioned picture - frames and what -not boxes so popu- lar in Victorian times. His son de- cided to extend the import business, and started to import oil. When he died lie was a peer and a multi -mil- lionaire. But he did not forget the humble origin of the family success. For that reason he named his great oil company the Shell. There was a time when those who could not afford carpets did with bare boards. Then came the invention of linoleum and the chance of a shrewd Lancashire man. Starting without friends or capital, ho introduced lino- leum. To -day, as Lord Ashton, he 1s reputed to be worth something like £5,000,000. Romantic, too, was the beginning of the man who has challenged com- parison with Ford as the universal provider of cheap motors. Mr. Mor- ris started as a cycle repairer in Ox- ford. He had little money, hut great ability. The trend of invention pick- ed him up and carried him forward upon its gigantic crest. He had the acumen to see what was happening in the realm of,mecllanioal transport. 7'o -day, still a young man, he reaps his reward. There are countless other cases in which brains and initiative have been i filch basis of b6 fortunes. In 1909 an American opened a shop in Oxford street. Ile had start- ed work in the famous Marshall Field Stores, in New York, and had worked his way up to a high position. Re- cently this man, Mr. Gordon Self- ridge, acquired control of the great Whiteley business, and thus made his company the biggest distributors of retail goods in Europe. The story of how a keen, aggressive grocer's son set out to carve a cern- menial career and proceeded from the little paternal business to the de- velopment of the vast Sunlight soap combine bas been often told. Hard work, economy, vision were the things that made the late Lord Lever 11uim. one o1 the world's greatest industrialists. Quite recently there died Mr. John. Salisbury, the provision 1ting, leaving over £1,000,000. He opened his first glen In Drury Lane when he was only 'twenty-four. The business had over a hundred shops before the, end 01 its founder's romaantic career. eie • the Master Salesman Lo, the people of the earth do me 'homage.
