"D. 30" Head Office: WINNIPEG C. W. Veysey Always Pushed the Work--Never Let It Push Him _General Manager of Winnipeg Wholesale Developed Himself So Consistently With H. B. C. at Vancouver That He Was Called to Fill a Big Man's Shoes_ By A. BROCK, _Associate Editor_ The career of Mr. C. W. Veysey, Manager H.B.C. Wholesale, Winnipeg, furnishes an excellent example of the Company's appreciation of, and reward for, faithful service and ability to apply one's business acumen in the Company's interests. [Illustration: C. W. VEYSEY, Esq. _General Manager, Wholesale Department_] _A Nova Scotian Who Early Came West_ Born in the little town of North Sidney, Nova Scotia, of English parentage, Mr. Veysey was privileged to spend the first years of his life in that country and community which produced so many of the leading business men now in the West. When he was thirteen his parents decided to move to British Columbia. They arrived in Vancouver in October, 1888. A few years spent at the west end and Central Schools, Vancouver, brought Mr. Veysey to that stage where he decided that it was about time he was learning to paddle his own canoe. _Began Business Life in B.C. Refinery_ The B.C. Sugar Refinery was the scene of his first labors, given in exchange for what at that time seemed the magnificent remuneration of $12 per month, with the promised reward of an increase to $15 in three months, providing the service he rendered was satisfactory to his employer.
