{Which ?
It seems a waste of words to argue
that a business education is necessary
for the success in life of young men and
women. No reasonable person doubts
it. It is a fixed fact.
The only question -the vital question
-is this :
"which college ?"
Oha11It be a school where common
sense. practical methods 'are followed ?
Shall it be tho best college or next beet?
It costs nothing to get our new cata-
logue. Simply ask us to send it to your
address. It tells about the most prac-
tical Business College in Ontario. We
believe it to be the very best.

MR. BENJAMIN WILLSON
A former well-known Winghainite.
Berjamin Willson, Chief Inspector of the Beek of Hamilton, was torn at
St. Juan's, DeeidlesexOounty, Ontario, on the 17th of April, 1544 Bis mare
the late Crowell Willson, represented East Middlesex ni Parliament, both be-
fore and after Conteleration, his first election being for Middlesex (then
oompnsiug the counties of Elgin and Middlesex) in Canadian Assembly in
1851. Mr. Crowell Willson's grandfather was a United Empire Loyalist, his
hath plane being New Jersey, and he was a member of tae Parliament of
Upper Canada, representing the Districts of Niagara in 1798. Benjamin
Willson's mother was Maria, daughter of Robert Jackson, one of the pioneer
settlers of the township of Loudon.
Benjamin Willson's first venture in business was in a woollen mill in St.
John's. Tne mill had been built and operated by his tether, long before the
time of railroads and was patronized by all the settled conntry around Lon-
don.
In 1871 Mr. Willson sold' out the.mill and moved to Wingham, where for
some years he was a partner of the late Edwin Kent, in a general store In
1875 he retired from the general store business, and with his brother, R. H.
Willson, opened a private bank, which was the pioneer bank of Wingham.
This business continued nihil the 1st of July, 18S2. The Bank of Hamilton
having some time previously opened a branch in Wingham, Mr. Willson was
offered and accepted the agency and has remained with the Bauk of Hamil-
ton ever since.
At the time of Mr. Willson's arrival in Wingham, it was a small unincor-
porated village, a part of the Mu..iotpality of Turnberry. He was requested
by the electors to offer himself at the approaching elections, December, 1E71,
as oaudidate for the office of Reeve of the Municipality, and was. elected. In
1872 Mr. Willson was again elected, and during the following year Wingham
was incorporated as a village; the followiug year he was elected the first
Reeve, which office he held until Wingham was incorporated as a town in
1878, when he was elected Mayor. This position he occupied for the follow-
ing two or three year's when he retired.
During Mr. Willson regime the present publio school was built, and a sys-
tem of waterworks inaugurated. In the early days of the Municipality, con-
siderable attention was paid to the planting of trees on the streets, and to a
great extent Wingham owes its now beautiful appearance to the encourage-
ment then given to tree planting.
In 1896 Mr. Willson moved to Winnipeg and opened a branch of the Bank
of Hamilton in that pity. He occupied the position of agent for two years
following and has since then been engaged in the work of inspection and is
now the Bank's Chief Inspector, with headquarters at Winnipeg.
Since the opening of the Bank of Hamilton in Winnipeg 42 agencies have
been opened in the North West and British Columbia, all of which are ander
Mr. Willson's superviston.
On the 2nd of July next Mr. Willson will have completed his 25th year
with the Bank, when he will likely retire and will probably make his home
in Southern California. While the west has been Mr. Willson's home for the
pist ten years, he has made yearly visits to Wingham, and he stul retains in
his heart a tender spot for the old ftienda in this vicinity.
