This was nat done at all meetings but quite often. Re- freshments between sessions at a meeting in July, 1903, when two government speakers were pres- cnt, consisted ai bread, salmon and lemons, bought from the Ins- titute funds; cake, sugar and but- ter were -upplied by the mem- bers. Apparently the menu was salmon sandwiches, cake and lem- onade. 1904 and 1905 did not go so well, only 6 meetings, membership 13 and average attendance 12, and the meetings were again can- celled in the summer months. Intercst Increases In 1905 and 1906 it was better, 8 meetings, 27 members and av- erage attendance 18. Branches were organized at Nestîcton and Stackille this year. Stackville was later divided ta become Orono and Newtonville.

Question Drawer The question drawer had an important place on ahl programs. From 10 ta 17 questions relative ta women's work, are recorded as be- ing satisfactorally answered at each meeting. From 1906 onward there was neyer any doubt about the suc- cess ai Bowmariville Women's Ias- titute.

In January, 1905, the Stedman Brothers enlarged their scope ta take in the sale of post cards. In 1907, they moved into their own three-storey building and built up the largest post card business in Canada. In 1914, however, with the Government's increase in post- age rates, the post card business folded and the Stedmans reverted to the manufacture of pennants, aprons and dresses. At one time, the brothers employed 65 people. In 1924 they entered the variety field of merchandisine in Toronto, but they entered it on a whole- sale, not a retail basis. They dea- voted their time ta the wholesale business and "franchise stores". Stores that were under contract ta the Stedman firm ta buy Sted- man products only, though the profits went ta the store manager. In the followving years, seven like stores werz opened.

Mr. Jackson intlmated that any- ane who wanted ta go places in the business. world must start at the bottom. "He must start in the stockroomn", said Jackson, "and work Up". The Stedman Manager also had advice for the younger generation who arc just embarking upon a career. "Ask yourself two ques- tions", he counselled. "Is the f ield in which I amn employed progress- ing or standig still?" Secondly, "Is the pollcy of the firm for which I work going ta help me pro- gress?" If your answer is posi- tive and if yau have what It takes and can.apply ýyourself, "you have a future". In closlng, Mr. Jackson offered a short poemn which dealt with the psychology used -n the business world. Why do some folks pre- fer one store ta another when bath carry the same goods? Why do buyers have market preference? It is not the quality or quantity af the goods on hand that makes ane store prosper NWhere another fails but, as the poem ended, "The only difference, I believe, is the treat- ment folks recelve". Ross Stutt, when introduclng Mr. Jackson. gave a few pertinent details relative ta the variety store manager's career. Born in Mid- land, Ontario, "Keith lived in a lot of places". Four years aga he came ta 'Bowmanvilîe and since his arrivai bas been active in clubs, church work, and local ath- letics.
