Take the case of electric com- panies: they found the people in darkness and left them in light. The motor industry people hemmed in on their own piazzas, and left them with the ful- ler freedom which made x neigh- borhood of the nation.

J Mr. Bergey stated that he felt the future of the country depended on the activities and thought of the business men. He showed that in olden Creece the business man was looked down upon, while later on, in the days of the Roman Empire, the business man was improved in sta- | tus, but was still regarded as the | man with the sharp brain, That is to say, if a business man put over a shady deal it was considered all right, so long as he was not caught, "To-day," said Mr. Bergzey, 'we still find some of those kind of busi-! pess men; men who put over a shady deal, and get away with it, but ft is only the business man who adopts the policy of looking after the interests of the buyer as well as his own, who wins ultimate success. Such clubs as the Kiwanis and Ro- tary are doing much to further the | idea of service in the minds of the business men of today. It is impos- | sible for a group of men, such as are | here today, to meet weekly, and yor} grow to be bigger men." , At the conclusion of his address the speaker was accorded the thanks of the club by Kiwanian Harold Da- | vis. who stated that he had not bad ' any idea that the motor industry in | Canada was go large as it really is.
