Ireland— Not Irish

Jf EN. IRELAND, realtor, fiduciary and *"* sportsman, m what has been labelled "the city of generous men," la somewhat akin to a well-organized orchestra — m harmony with the occasion, whatever and wherever the circumstances may be.

Since his primer school days In Dunedin, Len has been devoted to athleticism, both mental and physical and be it a playground scrap or a dissertation upon some obscure "ology," he was right m the heart of it.

And the proclivity has not diminished as the years advanced.

Should he ever experience the need of a pseudonym, then it should be that of "Mr. Holdfast;" for whether the morsel of argument comprises hockey, accountancy or some real estate intricacy, Ireland will seize upon It and worry It through to a feasible solution.

With a slight inclination to be dogmatic, his utterances are,* nevertheless, tinctured with the influence of well-measured aforethought, and a questioner impliedly receives the mental assurance that Len's answer has been carefully weighed m the scales of caution.

With his mantle of manhood abreast the meridian of virility, he is busily wresting the laurel of success from the lists of competition and m the tussle for survival the weight of Ireland will carry him through life's test of elimination.

Unto his elbow be much power added, therefore.
