One of the vast Industrial enterprises of the wheat which has made this country known in ttv3 hour markets of the and which has contributed not a Littleto the immediate financial Success of the wheat Rowins Farmers of the West. Now air. Thompson has not reached position by waiting for it in the approved patriarchal fashion he climbed to it. He of the stamp of men who do not Tarry until honors descend upon them because there Are no older intervening Heads in the Way he pushes up to the honors. His birthday was Jan. 10, 1862, his Birthplace Montreal. His first business experience was in a broker s office where men Early learn the in expediency of waiting for things things Are to be reached for. After that to tried banking and there is a legend that while engaged in discovering that keeping Tab on other men s score cards in the game of Money getting was too limited an occupation for him he developed unexpectedly on one occasion some Sher lock Holmes traits which resulted in laying by the heels certain gentlemen who thought they knew a Shorter to wealth than Law recognizes. Accountant at Twenty. But his real life work began in 18s2 when at the age of Twenty he was Given by the late w. W. position As accountant at Winnipeg for the Ogilvie milling co. Here his splendid business qualities soon Mado themselves seen. Youth had bestowed upon him Energy and initiative instead of her commoner Dowers of diffidence and a to imitate. And the West was it is vast hot House for the rapid development i of Young Power. The result was that or. Mean judge of made him at the age of Twenty one general manager of Tae company with cull management of the business from Montreal West to the Pacific. His Headquarters were still Winnipeg and the new appointment gave him great scope for the company had a Large Mill at that Point was car ried on a very important part of the whole business i.e., the buying of the Natty Daliy in a City of Young or. Thompson s Worth was s on and fully appreciated. He took rank at ones with the Best men in the Western Metropolis and it is stated that he was on one occasion offered a port Folio in the Manitoba government if he would give up milling wheat and go into the duster Mill room of politics but or. Thompson is essentially a business Man. He had found his Metier and he wisely refused to Leavo it for a Field which might not have proved so genial. Still the fact of to offer stands As an enforced testimony to the value set upon his abilities by his change in Ogilvie business. Then came the death of or. Ogilvis and the question of How the vast Busi Ness he had built up should be carried on. Or. Thompson who knew Well Tho Opportunity thus offered United with another of the very brightest of can Ada s Young men Oharles Hosmer to form the new company which bought out the Ogilvie business. This venture is so recent that the Public still remember How Well the new Enterprise was received in the financial world How the Stock was subscribed for several times Over and tick a fresh impetus was Given to even the swelling Success of the old Oil tale company. This was less than two years and and yet the Ogilvie business grown in a marked manner since that near Date. To of per Sonal ambition has been added the impetus of ownership and it to surprising if or. Thompson were lot doing better work now than he was when manager for Ogilvie a in the West. Then he has the inv Alabu Quality of being Able to attract to himself the spontaneous fealty of col leagues and subordinates. He is likeable Man and he is just As Wel liked by those who Are on his pay Roll As by those who meet him by the social fireside. He does not Inal the first class mistake of carrying two manners but is always the Alert decisive human capable and yet sym pathetic Man who does business a Circle of friends. His chief characteristic. One of the things which one hears often est of him is that he is exceedingly Quick in reaching ills conclusion s. His is the razor like mind which cuts to the heart of a. Proposition at a and sees at once whether it contains any Promise of Good consequently usually decides a proposal promptly without that delay for consideration which lost men think so essential. Liis saves time and prevents any Clanger of a rival forestalling him wine he cons the matter Over. A Man who can do this and not make . Is undoubtedly better equipped for the lightning Competition of titanic Busi Ness struggles than the. Surest Man who pays for his certainty the Price of slowness.
