The books. of the Mill and Elexator Association became notorious during; the time the Bishop, Brissmman Audit} company was seeking them for the| purpose-of making an audit for the; state board of audits. The Bishop,! Brissman report speaks pf the efforts! to get these records as follows: “We inquired of the secretary of the| Industrial @ommission at Bismarck | for these records, and were advised that all of the records of the Norta Dakota Mill and ‘Elevator Association were either at the Drake mill or at the offices of the association at Fargo or mill office at Grand Forks. “We inquired for these consignment records at the office of the asso tion. Mr. McGovern's secretary, rs.| Dodds, informed us that Mr. McGov- ern was absent from the city at the time; and in regard to the consign- ment sales records, that no such rec- ords were at the Fargo office but that ekly reports were made by the con- signees to the office at Drake or to! tthe Industrial Commission’s office at Bismarck, ‘Mrs. Dodds also informed us that the bookkeeping records of the-Fargo office had been turned over to the Equitable Audit company for audit the latter part of the preceding month, and to the best of her knowledge were still in their possession. ‘We next inquired of Mr. Darling.| the representative of the said Equit able Audit company,’ then-at Bismarck if he knew where these records were obtainable, and were advised by him that part of them were in a suit case of his locked up in Fargo, and that the remainder were in his possession .at Bismarck; that the records ,were in a confused condition and he had been engaged in endeavoring to straighten them out, when he was called away from Fargo.

Don’t expect deference hecause you are a woman. But don’t try to-be masculine. And do develop your intwition! 'Phis—were she the sort of ‘a wo man who gives adyice—would be the gist of what Mrs. Laura B. Merrill, high-salaried secretary of the Com- monwealth Hotel Construction Corpor- ation, would say to the young woman ambitious for a business career. Mrs, Merrill, a littie woman who looks as if she gave her blond hair and skin an extra 10 minutes every day, has at her Inger tips an amaz- ing amount of: information regarding the investors .and the investment of the Commonwealth Corporation. She is constantly in touch with and kpows every detail of the building of this new hotel which will cover one whole block in the heart of New York.

MERRILL == . said Mrs. Merrill, “For that reason, Tima it a point to go to the actual scene of construction every few days and know just exactly what is going on. “Then, when. a “letter comes from one of our investors, I can answer it in the most satisfying way. ’ “I believe that the basis of any suc~ cessfnl business. or the basic princi- ple.of any successful individual must | be sincerity,” continued Mrs. Merrill, “and-it seems to ime that woman's Ansincerity in’ business is her chief fault. ‘ “Women too often approach their work with thé feeling that it is just a temporary thing anyhow. “There isn’t any limit to a woman's accomplishment in the business | world. I started at $6 a week. I was 18 then. “I was studying music seriously and taking stenography merely as pas- time when I was offered a temporary position. ~ - “I became a business enthusiast! “Another thing,” Mr Merrill laughed, “I have faith in my intuition —it’s an almost uncanny thing!” 1 OC OO OO eit a eyes were focused on New York as the hub of the operatic’ universe.
