ROBERT BLEAKIE, Hyde Park, Mass., President and General Manager Webster Woolen Co.
IN Scotland, many years ago, a boy of ten Took up the weaver's work along with men. The way was hard, the boy was strong and true; He saw the only way and saw it bravely, too; And time did broaden it unto the boy of ten And stretched it fair for him to walk with Men.
How well he's walked—results do best attest:— A life of high ideals, of living for the best; Industry, courage, hope—that sterling stock-in-trade By which in best of ways, the best of men are made— A seeker for the truth, along all economic lines, A man of large affairs; a student of the times.
