that his quick intelligence and sound judgment made him from the first a marked man.Be that as it may, when he left the _ Melntyre firm to organize and manage the Standard Shirt Company, he found no lack of confidence in his character and administrative ability.These were the days of small things, and Mr.Gordon found the path he had elected to tread anything but a rosy one.Those who remember the state of the textile and allied industries at that time need not be told that Mr.Gordon had an uphill fight to make.But he went cheerfully ahead, confident alike in himself and the industry which he was directing.He worked hard and studied hard, and when the day of bigger things came it found him ready.A big organization was formed to promote the industry on a far larger scale.His company and other concerns were merged into the Canadian Converters Company, with Mr.Gordon as manager.He was highly successful in this concern.But bigger things yet were in store.The Dominion Textile Company was the next development, and of this Mr.Gordon became the managing director and vice-president.Here again he more than justified the expectations of those who were associated with him in the enterprise.His election to the presidency in 1909 was a natural sequence, and this honored position he yet holds\u2014the captain of one of the biggest and most important of Canadian industries.Before this opportunity came to him he had become vice-president of the Montmorency Cotton Mills Company, and of the Colonial Bleaching and Printing Company, and a director of the Montreal Cotton Company.He still holds his connection with the latter company, and he is also vice-pre- sident of Penmans, Ltd.Having attained such eminence in the industrial field, it need hardly be said that Mr.Gordon\u2019s services and advice were sought in other directions.For instance, in the same year that he became president of the Dominion Textile Company, he was elected a director of the famous old banking house of Molsons.Other appointments followed quickly\u2014a seat on the directorate of C.Meredith Ltd.and then of the Travellers\u2019 Life Assurance Company and next the vice-presidency of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association.He is also president of the Hill- crest Collieries.It is a busy life that Mr.Gordon has led.And he is still only midway between forty and fifty.Youthful in appearance, and full of breezy optimism, he strikes many as only on the threshold of his career.Intense as his application to business has been, Mr.Gordon has not allowed it to absorb all his interest.Sport of all kinds has always had a fascination for him, and in particular that of yachting.He is one of the most valued members of the famous Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club.Also he has from the first patronized \u201cthe king of sports\u201d on the island of Montreal, and is a member of the Montreal Jockey Club.Mr.Gordon has more than the common share of pride and civic patriotism.It was men of his stamp who were behind that great civic movement which established the new regime in Montreal, and by many it is considered quite probably that he will take a prominent part in the new era cf civic development upon which Montreal is now entering.Born in Montreal, he has seen from the beginning the great movement by which the city has evolved from a sort of provincial town to one of the great cities of the world.He has visions of a greater and nobler city, and is taking the lead in an organization that may yet do a good deal to realize those dreams.He is the president of the Greater Montreal Planning and Housing Association\u2014a new organization whose wide and useful scope is indicated by its name.Mr.Gordon was last week elected a director of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Co.to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr.H.W.Norton and is also a director of the Bank of Montreal.Mr.Gordon\u2019s recent appointment would undoubtedly disclose the fact CHARLES B.GORDON.a © WILLIAM T.RODDEN \u201csa, : + .+ T is impossible to sum up in a phrase the qualities which have made Mr.William T.Rodden, the vice-president and managing director of the Em Standard Securities, Limited, trial a ane of the leaders in indus- say a commercial Montreal.If you an at he has forged to the front as y explosives man, you are immediate- one apronted with the fact that he is of Es che best farmers in the whole ed to Son Canada.If you are inclin- busin late upon the concentration of ered pa faculties which have ren- count him Successful alike in city and the ny bursuits, you are up against and act that he is a leader in sport\u2014 show pontains a string of four or five While orses, And if you say that cumate business man by force of cir- at heu nices, he is really a sportsman enteral.then you discover that he o dure\u201d very serious views about tion uty of the individual to the na- » and was for many long years one of the most ;

This man knows all the points about a cow, and can talk learnedly about the food values of farm products, and fat percentages in the milk of Holsteins as compared with Jerseys.Out at Vaudreuil he throws off his city cares, and becomes the farmer pure and simple\u2014no, simple.He is a typical example of the new farm- er\u2014not the man who works with his hands, but the man who farms with his brains, and has a scientific reason for everything that is done.He applies science and modern business and labor-saving methods to the oldest of the industries, and by so doing is a pioneer along paths that will ultimately lead to the regeneration of rural life.If only there were more men like Mr.Rodden we should not now be deploring a rural exodus.Mr.Rodden\u2019s farm is four hundred acres in extent, and he farms it on principles designed to improve both the quantity and the quality of its products.His dairy herd is known as one of the best in the Dominion, and it is kept under ideal conditions, the two considerations which dominate all others in its management being care to ensure the healthiness of each animal and absolute cleanliness in the conditions under which it is kept and its milk handled.Co He maintains that farm buildings are an important factor in these matters, and therefore has his cow stables and all other buildings constructed along the most approved lines, with good light and perfect ventilation and drainage.Each cow 1s regularly tested for tuberculosis, and each is washed before milking.Furthermore, the attendants, instead of being sloventy dressed and dirty, as most farm hands are when at work, have to dress in spotless white.In these ways, a dirt is kept out of the milk, and a scientific da:ry outfit and refrigeratins plant ensure further cleanliness In handling, and the immediate cooling of the product prior to its being sent to the consumers in the city.; No one can say how many precious young lives will be saved in Mont real as a direct result of the work of Mr.Rodden as a dairy farmer\u2014bu this much can be said, that if all the farmers who contribute to the mi supply of Montreal exercised the same care as he does to ensure the purity of their product, hundreds of infant lives would be saved each year.What Mr.Rodden has done in connection with the milk supply he has done also in some degree in connection with water and ice.His theory is that the germs of most diseases enter the system in food or drink, and he is doing what he can to preserve the sources of food supply from contamination.Thus he 1s a pioneer in the supply of pure water and pure ice, which, with milk, are the principle transmitters of disease.He was the organizer, and is now the president, of the Ice Manufacturing Company, Ltd.which was founded last year.This company ensures the absolute purity of its product, by making ice from sterilized water.In this industry» the latest sanitary machinery is used, and neither in manufacture nor in handling is there a chance of the product becoming polluted.The ice is placed in the refrigerator of the householder in an absolutely pure condition.In the matter of a pure water supply, Mr.Rodden has done good work by organizing the Vaudreuil Spring Syndicate, which is now supplying pure spring water to a dozen municipalities along the Ottawa River and the western part of the island of Montreal.A sturdy figure of middle height, with determined jaw and chin counterbalanced by a seldom-absent twinkle in his eyes, Mr.Rodden makes a delightful companion.He has the heart of a boy allied with the experience of a man of the world.There is a swing and a gusto about him that captivates and magnetises.That was responsible for his popularity in the Victoria Rifles, and he rose from the ranks to the status of captain and the command of a company.Mr.Rodden is an indefatigable worker, and every enterprise with which he is connected shows evidence of his aggressive and tireless personality.Although born in Ottawa, his entire business life has been spent in Montreal.He first came into prominence in connection with the Explosives business, and entered the Hamilton Powder Company in 1882, and rose from a junior position to that of secretary-treasurer of the company, severed his connection to organize in 1905 the Standard Explosives Limited \u2014also the Western Explosives Limited, which were sold out to the Canadian Explosives Limited in 1910.This, and his many activities along other lines, have made him a conspicuous figure in the financial, commercial, and realty world.For instance, he is a director in the Prudential Trust Company, Ltd., the Montreal Abattoirs, Ltd.,, and the National Pipe and Foundry Company, Ltd.; is president of the Mount Royal Realties, Ltd.and the Mount Royal Stables, and vice-president of the Standard Securities, Ltd.To this last-named he is now devoting the major portion of his time.He is also a member of the McGill Property Syndicate, which erected the ten-story structure, at the corner of McGill and Notre Dame streets, known as the Mec- Gill Building.This is one of the most imposing office buildings in the city, and in addition to materially improving the locality, is constructed along lines of improved light and ventilation that are in sharp contrast to the methods used but a decade ago.Of his small string of show horses, Mr.Rodden is deservedly proud.They have won prizes for him in many shows in Canada and the United States.He is a constant exhibitor at the National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden, New York, and in 1912 captured the most important event in the class for jumps, in a class of 79 entries, open to all the world.This year, with Sarah Moore, he won out of a class of 73 entries, the International Contest, defeating the French entry, valued at $30,000.In addition to his eminence in the worlds of business and sport, Mr.Rod- den is a well-known club man.He is the president of the newly-organiz- ed National Club, which meets daily in the McGill Building at the lunch hour, and he holds memberships in the St.James, Montreal, Canada, Montreal Hunt, Forest and Stream, Manitou, Heather Curling, and Beaconsfield Golf Clubs; and a life member of the M.A.A.A.He is, too, a member of the Masonic fraternity, and is by merit a past-master of Royal Victoria Lodge.In fact, Mr.Rodden is one of the busiest, as he is one of the most aggressive, of the business men of the city of Montreal.And yet he has time to cultivate the human side of life\u2014to be a good fellow among good fellows; to encourage young men in healthy activities; and to do his share in fostering the right spirit in the national life.He is as yet only in the prime of life, and in the full flower of his energies, and if we mistake not we are very far from having heard the last of Mr.W.T.Rodden.ên that among the younger generation of financiers he has been most in demand for corporation directorates during the past couple of years.Just entering upon the prime of life \u2014a man of imagination and of great constructive energy\u2014there seems lit- lle reason to doubt that he will be onc of the leaders in the civic and business life of Montreal during the next quarter of a century.And that quarter of a century appears destined to be the most wonderful yet in all the long history of Montreal.The fact that Mr.Gordon is recognized as an authority on the general principles of business management ought to make him a valuable factor in the civic reform movement in which he is now so keenly interested.It is above, everything else, a development on sound conomic lines, combined with efficiency in management, that Greater Montreal is now in need of.When the Greater Montreal Planning and Housing Association, of which, as has been said, Mr.Gordon is the president, get down to solid work, it will exercise a great influence along these lines.For instance, its value to the city has already been recognized by the leader in the City Council.Last week Ald.Lapointe brought up a proposition to the effect that no lands on the island of Montreal should in future be allowed to be sub-divided until after the plans for the general laying out of the property had been approved by a Commission of three engineers or surveyors, one to be appointed by the City of Montreal, one by the Planning and Housing Association, and one by the municipality in which the lands are situated.Here is where the great work of the future lies\u2014the planning and upbuild- ing of Greater Montreal.And her is where men with the vision and the experience and the inborn patriotism of Mr.Gordon, will be able to serve their day and generation well.a CW > XCEPTING Mr.James Hol- fc) den, there is, perhaps, no man in Montreal who loves a horse as well as Mr.William McMaster, the latest 4 ® recruit to the directorate of the Dominion\u2019s leading financial institution, the Bank of Montreal.But whereas Mr.Holden's taste runs to driving a coach and pair, that of Mr.McMaster takes the form of riding.Rain or shine, warm or cold, there is hardly a day that passes but what Mr.McMaster is out on his favorite mount.He holds that horseback riding is the finest recreation there is, and he pursues it, as he pursues his business, with enthusiasm.From early youth until now, when he is well on into middle age, Mr.Mc- Master has devoted himself with tense application to business.His gospel is that only the man who exercises his energies and faculties to the full really lives.Thus he has always been immersed in business life.He has put his heart into his work, he has gloried in the daily round; he has carried out literally the scriptural injunction to \u201cdo with all thy might what thy hand findeth to do.\u201d Had it not been that he is just as strenuous a sportsman as he is a business man, Mr.McMaster would hardly now be preserving the slim figure, the upright carriage, and! the physical poise and alertness that Is his.Those who knew him in his earlier days say that he was one of the foremost lacrosse enthusiasts, that he was a fine skater, and an ardent snowshoer, in the days when snowshoeing was snowshoeing.Summer found him out on the river, having a glorious time at sailing.Else he would be playing tennis, or riding.To-day he does not devote his spare time so strenuously to outdoor pursuits as he did.But daily horse-back riding he has never given up; he finds it an irresistible recreation and an invaluable tonic.Perhaps it is due to this daily ride of his that Mr.McMaster brings the breeziness and heartiness of outdoor life into his office.This breeziness, which keys up the staff, and puts everybody around him into good humor, is one of the secrets of Mr.Mec- Master's success.For long before he became the power that he now is in the world of finance, Mr.McMaster had become distinguished as a \u2018born boss.\u201d He had the faculty of managing men, of getting the best out of them, and getting that because they gave it willingly.He started in with the old firm of Morland, Watson and Co., when he fiinished his education at the Montreal Collegiate School.This firm controlled the Montreal Rolling Mills, and it was owing to the special business aptitudes that Mr.McMaster displayed that his employers transferred him to the offices of the Rolling Mills.This earnest, hard-working young Scotchman now had his chance.First he qualified for the position of sales-mana- ger, and from that he rose to secre- tary-treasurer, superintendent, and finally vice-president and general manager.' This position brought Mr.McMaster into touch with the principals of many of the great basic industries of the country.He came to be recognized as a force in the business life of the city, and gradually he became associated with many important companies.At the present time the companies in which he is a director include the Dominion Steel Corporation (vice-presi- dent), Sherwin-Williams Co., the Canada Cement Co., Dominion Coal Company, North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, Belding Paul & Corticelli Silk Company, Pillow-Her- sey Company, Allis-Chalmers-Bullock Company, Dominion Iron and Steel Company, Montreal Telegraph Company (president), Amalgamated Asbestos Corporation, C.Meredith & Co., Ltd.Jacques Cartier Pulp & Paper Company, National Trust Company, the Bank of Commerce, and now the Bank of Montreal.Truly an imposing array.Mr.McMaster has for many years been associated with companies for the manufacture of explosives.Recently, when the Montreal Rolling Mills was incorporated into the Steel Company of Canada, Mr.McMaster turned his attention more exclusively to the explosive industry, and took over the position of president of Canadian Explosive, Limited, a huge concern of Dominion-wide importance.He is no figurehead in this business, but spends the best part of every working day in actively directing it.While engaged so ardently in business life, Mr.McMaster found time for other things besides that and sport.He has always been an active supporter of trade organizations.He has done good work on the Council of the Board of Trade, and was one of the delegates who attended the memorable Commercial Congress of the Empire in «8 I London, Eng.He has, too been presi dent of the Metal and Hardware As: sociation, and president of the Mont real Branch of the Canadian Manufac turers\u2019 Association.Furthermore, h has for some time been a life govern or of the Montreal General and Wes tern Hospitals.!
