In 1909 he moved to Chicago and was employed by the Chicago Belting Co. for 39 years. For the last 20 years, he was Plant Superin- tendent, direct assistant to the pre- sident, and his reputation and knowl- edge of leather was respected throughout the entire industry. Ac- cording to the company's president, his passing will be keenly felt, as he was an acknowledged expert and craftsman of the old school. He pur- chased their leathers and was re- sponsible for standards and manu- facturing methods.

If, for instance, someone says to you: "It must take a good deal of practice to do a job like that!", you feel pleased. And the person who said that would, in your esti- mation, be a man of unusual insight. It follows that if you re- spond in this way, so will the other fellow. By making him feel that you appreciate some- thing about him, you will go up in his estimation. Your relationships with him will be more cordial. But - be careful to avoid sheer flattery. This is easily detected and will have the opposite effect. Say only those favourable things which you can say sincerely. Of all the ways to show your family how much you think of them, none is more practi- cal than an adequate invest- , merit in life Insurance. It brings priceless peace of mind both to them and you. And it is an investment which is so readily made by regular, systematic savings. wao 14/AaW gatewitme? ... our Company at the resent time is in the strongest position in its history." -President E.
