I - SEE S----- i i 5] 3) 4 \ 5 SR od Christian business dinner A man who considers God the owner of his business will explain to the Mayor's Annual Breakfast Meeting - sponsored by the Christian Business Men's Committee of Oshawa and District, why he turns 100 percent of the annual profits over to missionary and christian work. R. Stanley Tam, founder of the States Smelting & Refining Co., Lima, Ohio, will speak at the Holi- day Inn - Oshawa at 7:30 a.m. Fri- day, May 16th. The meeting will be out by 9:00 a.m. "It is simple," he says. "I gi e100 percent of the profits to christian work because that is the covenant I made with God in 1940. He lived up to His bargain twenty fold and I will live up to mine." Tam's business is reclaiming silver from photographic solutions. He began his unique enterprise after reading that the emulsion used on film contains silver and that over 16 tons of the metal is washed away each week in photographer's fixing baths over the nation. His first try in 1936, the business failed. He learned that four others had also tried and failed. It happen- ed in Columbus, Ohio, turning towards home, defeated, driving -along in his car, Tam was praying to God about his disappointment. "Suddenly the Spirit of God spoke to his heart. 'It doesn't need to be a disappointment. You don't need to go broke, turn the business over to me and I will make it succeed." This happened three years after an Ohio farmwoman had converted him to Christianity. He tried again, deter- mined to work in partner-ship with God. With $37.00 he set up a "factory" in a spare bedroom in his home to manufacture "silver collectors" for the wasted silver concentrate. Photographers and x-ray techni- cians who he visited happily agreed to his proposal to split fifty-fifty on any silver he retrieved from the col- lectors he placed in their darkrooms. Today Tam's collectors are in- stalled in photographic and x-ray departments all across the country in almost every state of the union. ~ God's share of the business is distributed to some 36 organizations through the Stanita Foundation, derived from the first syllable of Tam's first name and the last por- tion of his wife's name, Juanita. Feeling that money alone is not a sufficient contribution, Tam fulfills speaking engagements, as many as five in a week-end, in cities across - the country, stressing the impor- tance of Christianity in everyday work. He has travelled around the world several times speaking as a Christian layman in over 20 countries. Tam is also President of United States Plastic Corp., a firm he founded in 1955, which has grown to a nation-wide business with over 53,000 customers grossing over 15 million per year.
