straight talk given the three noble
men who head tho firm when they
were young men by Emperor Willi

December 19, 1901, at a private
gathering of the Count Von Alver
slcben's family at Neu Qatterslebcn,
tho occasion being the unveiling of
monument to Countess Von Alvcr
slcbcu. After the unveiling, tho Kaiser
assembled the three sons of tho
countess about him and uddressad
them as follews:
"Dear beys: I want to give you
u straight talk. I want you to re
vere the memory of your mother, for
sue was an angei. iuu iutj uu
scended from an ancient and great
family, which has given Germany
many distinguished men. But, 1
know that all your family have a
wicked vein in them.
"Remember that your father has
met with misfortunes and that your
circumstances are not such that you
will be able to take life easy. You
must make your own way in the
world and must give your fellow no
bles proof that it is posible to be a
nobleman oven in poverty. Don't
live beyonl your means. Give me
your hand on it."
The three counts thus admonished,
went to Canada and formed the
busines concern that is a commer
