The Righteousness of Doctors’ Bills

IF one were talking in fables this might be called the fable of the Physician, the Lawyer, and the Business Man. But as fables are more or less out of date and generally interpreted according to individual taste, it will serve better to recite the True Story of a Certain Mrs. Suburbs. By George C. Lawrence, in Appleton's Magazine25 min

There is Not Money Enough in the World

AS far back as the early part of last summer I scheduled an article on this subject for Munsey’s Magazine, and I intended writing it then, while the thought was fresh in my mind. It was suggested by the excessive price of money, the smash that had already taken place in the security market, and the tremendous onrush of our industries and commercial affairs. By Frank A. Munsey in Munsey's Magazine25 min

The British Trader in Canada

IF the Commercial Intelligence Committee of the Board of Trade follows up the report of its Special Commissioner on the conditions and prospects of British trade in Canada, it may accomplish more than the cloud of publicists who discourse about Imperial relations upon an abundant lack of first-hand knowledge of the business relations out of which political changes are evolved.

Jim Saddlebag, Head-Liner

OLD bleary McGaffney, the town inebriate, shivered and shook himself spasmodically down Main Street in the town of Donaldson. At the corner of Market Street he wavered for an instant. Some instinct warned him to stop and look and listen. By William Hamilton Osborne in the Circle Magazine13 min

Some Methods of Distributing Profits

IN the matter of Profit Sharing in business, I wish to point out that there are two methods of dividing profits, first, by a fixed percentage of the general profits, forming part of a yearly contract between employers and employes ; secondly, by an optional or indefinite amount of profits, to be divided amongst workmen; at the end of the year.

How Sir Thomas Shaughnessy Reached the Top

THIS then gives preface to explaining Sir Thomas G. Shaughnessy, President of the greatest railway and shipping corporation in the world, the C.P.R. He is not only one of the business men who does his work superbly, but all accounts go to show that from very childhood, Sir Thomas was singularly direct and true. By C. D. Cliffe12 min

The Power Behind a Vast Enterprise

IN 1890, nothing. In 1907, four thousand one hundred miles of railway in operation; six hundred under construction; and two thousand more surveyed; the whole absolutely controlled by two men. Herein is a record that would be remarkable in the United States. By John V. Borne in System Magazine11 min

The Enlistment of the Long Reach Men

LATE in the winter of 1811, Tom Norton returned to his humble home in the Long Reach Settlement from Adolphustown, at which place he had been employed during the fall and early winter months. Very pleasant it seemed to the little cobbler to be at home again! He stirred the fire on his lonely hearth until it threw out great rays of light and waves of heat, then with a bit of work on his knees, luxuriated in the glow and warmth. By Maude Benson10 min

The Proper Way to Spend a Holiday

"GOOD-BYE, I wish you a very pleasant hodiday." Soon such parting words will be heard on every hand. In a few weeks Canadian summer resorts, watering places, picnic grounds and holiday haunts will be teeming with people all on pleasure bent. By G. W. Brock10 min
