THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FIUUAY, UCIUBEK 3, 1940 _ «at. SEVEN THE HOUSE THAT - | FRYBUILT TWO CENTURIES AGO Cocoa and Chocolate Firm Established in Reign of King George Il. Two centuries ago there was a litle shop in Wine Street, Bristol, Eng: "pext door to the Crispin y which the bloods and dan- In the day loved to resort. Its owner was a young Quaker Doctor from Wiltshire, England, somewhat 'grave in 'aspect, but energetic in word and gesture, and with keen well-formed features, ex- pressive at once of force and re- finement of character. He traded ia many sorts of goods, but his staple commodities were 'choco late nibs and cocoa," and the frag. rant a of the roasted bean en- veloped; his shop like a cloud of incense, Time went on and the throng pf customers grew to such an extent that in 1777 we find our enterprising trader--still pheno- meally active, but now mellowed in voice ahd feature and a Jittle grey- er at the temples--removing to less onfined premises in Bristol, which had just then heen constructed. And then for another ten years we see the business growing under his fostering hand and the virtue and charm of the new delicacy and bev- erage, taking a firm hold on the people, Then, in 1787, full of years and civic honours, hisiory tells us, the Quaker merchant died, not probably without a vague, proph- etic feeling that he had founded a house and an industry destined to play a great part in modern com- mercial history, The Quaker merchant was of course Joseph Fry---the founder of one of the largest industrial un- dertakings, But it is hard to real- ize, as one is conducted over Messrs, Fry's factories at Bristol-- handsome as Cathedrals, firm and solid as pyramids, covering several acres of ground, and rising eighty , sheer feet into the air--that any- thing so fixed and so Imposing could have had so modest a begin- ning. The firm of J. 8, Fry and Sons, Ltd, has heen fortunate in the great Captains who have been at its helm durng its two hundrad years of history, Its founder was & man of versatile genius under whose 'hands almost any concern would Have prospered. Hardly less remarkable was his son and successor, Joseph Storrs Fry, who died in 1885. He was at once essayist, theologian, author, manufacturer and scientist. Mr, Francis Fry, who ruled as head of the concern till his death in 1886, developed the business into one of world-wide fame and was on Swwday, enployees ot is 1728 bio | the he ejga of King ig) King inchding Dc.

The prince went home, the lega- tion said, because his visit was end- ed. While in Paris he did not stop with his brother Carol, but at an STREET RAILWAY WORKERS, LONDON, THREATEN STRIKE Conference on Wage Dispute Fails to Bring About a Settlement London, Ont, Oct. 5--The confer- ence between General Manager Len Tait and « committee of representa tives of the Street Railwaymen's Un- ion failed to bring about a settlement regarding the demand of the men for an increase in wages of 10 per cent, and a mass meeting of the employes is to be held on Saturday night, when the question of a strike will be con- sidered, Expects Tie-up The committee which met Mr, Tait was composed of President John Col- bert, John Ashton, John TI Lou Parker, Thomas Howlett and J. Axford. President Colbert stated, after the meeting, that two months ago the men voted to strike if the wage in- crease was not granted, and he can- not see anything now but a strike following the meeting of Saturday night. It will not be necessary to take a new strike vote, he explained. The passing of a resolution will result in a walkout. Vive-President J. M. Parker, of Detroit, Vice-President of the Inter- national Union of Street Railway Employees, is coming to London and will address the mass meeting. More Wages Mayor G. A. Wenige stated today that in the event of the company and its employes failing to come to terms he would ask the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board to come to Lon- don and try to settle the difficulty and the vequisition will p. sent today. General Manager Tait told the un- ion representatives that the railway is making no money and that an in- crease in wages is out of the ques- tion. "But," said President Colbert, "the railway has always told us the same thing. 'We have to have more money to live." WHITE OF AN EGG AT LAST EXPLAINED Chicago, 111, Oct. 3.--While the gen- eral public has known for a long time that it is the yolk of an egg that is cowardly--it hits and then runs-- science has just found out what the white is all about. The fiith separate and distinct pro- tein making up the white of eggs has been determined by Dr. Arthur G. Cole, of the College oi Medicine of the University of Illinois located here, it was announced today. Doc- tor Cole had previously "determined the four others. These five proteins constitute the total protcin content of egg white, one of the foods par- ticularly rich in proteins. "The countless proteins found in nature are so uniform in composi- tion that it is impossible to use the ordinary chemical methods for their identification," Doctor Cole explain- ed. "For this purpose we made use of the extremely delicate biological, or reacti which are so sensitive that it is possible to detect a specific protein in solutions containing as little as ome part im ten million of that particular pro- tein.
