Amongst the men who led {in this work was one of Kingston's | sons, Herbert Rutherford Kirkpat- rick, a member of one of the families famous in the past history of this city. ; | Herbert Rutherford Kirkpatrick | was born in Kingston on January | 28th, 1874. His father was the Rev. Francis William Kirkpatrick, one of the leading clergymen im this city during the middle and Jattér part of the last century. His mother was | Emily Gertrude Gildersleeve, a mem-~ | ber of another well-known and re- | spected Kingston family. The first H. R. KIRKPATRICK A NNN education which he received was at Miss Leslie's Private School on Gore street, a famous educational institu- tion in these days. At this school more of Kingston's famous men were educated than' at any other, school. Miss Leslie had the faculty of com- bining character development with the teaching of thé ordinary rudi- ments of education, and as a result to positions of responsibility and prominence in many lines of activity. From Miss Leslie's school Herbert Kirkpatrick went to the Collegiate Institute, passing through it with much distinction, then entered Queen's University. He chose an arts course and graduated from Queen's in 18965. Throughout his younger days his ant had been for mechanics, and on leaving college he looked around for in opportunity in this field of en- deavor. Like many other men of ibility, there wae no scope for him in Kingston, although during his col- lege course he had worked in vaca- tions with the Folger Steamship Hines. His first position was in Syra- | cuse, with the E. C. Stearns Com- pany, manufacturers of bicycles. The bicycle industry was then at its height, for in those days the automo- bite and motor cycle had not become popular modes of travel. His stay with. that firm wes not of lengthy duration, and he soon roge to an ex- ecutive position, being appointed pranch manager of the James Cooper Manufacturing Company of Mon- {treal. His next step took him to the | position of assistant to the madaging director of the Allis Chalmers, Bull | LI 5 INFECTIONS "Jt passes in the form of minute germs from the coughs or sneezes of people who in the first stages mingle with others. .

His next step took him to the vice- presidency of the Canada Grip Nut Company, which position he held un- til the outbreak of war.

He turned his mind, however, to the one way in which he could best serve his country, and formed the Consolidated Steel .Company Limited," and began the manufacture of steel products and munitions of war for the British and Canadian Governments, . He held the joint positioh of vice-president and managing director of this com- pany throughout the entire period of hostilities. The chief product of the company, which had a large plant in West Torgnto, was heavy projectiles, of which sb many millions were need- ed by the Canadjan army. The plant was one of the largest in Canada and its output showed a splendid record of service. When the United States entered the war, a large contract was that country to supply the Umited States army and navy with heavy shells, and the work of turning these out was carried on until the armistice was signed. With the_cpming of peace, Mr. Kirkpatrick furned his energies to the problems of reconstruction, and his plant was entirely changed in order to continue business on a peace-time basis. He became vice- : | president of the Schofield Tractor Company of Toronto, & comcern which devotes its energies entirely | t6 the manufacture of farm imple- | | ments, and specializes in farm trac- 'Mr. Kirkpatrick is also a direc- tor of the Albany Car Wheel Com- pany, Albany, N.Y., and is president of the Mercantile Reality Company, | Montreal, and has large real estate holdings in that city and in Toronto.

Montreal: They have two little sons, who are the joy of their parents. At present the family residence is at 210 Balmoral avenue, Toronto, where the Kirkpatrick home is oné of the finest in that section of the city.
