	A dominant factor in the success of Bowman Brothers, Limited,

	In the pursuit of his early education Roy H. Bowman attended the

and located at Yorkton, where he was an employe [sic] of the Yorkton Fruit
& Produce Company until the 1st of March, 1913. At that time he re-
signed his position and came to Saskatoon, joining his brothers in the
conduct of Bowman Brothers, wholesale automotive supplies.  He be-
came secretary-treasurer of the firm and has continued in that important
capacity. He is sincerely devoted to the business and has been a domi-
nant factor in its continued and wonderful growth. The firm has a hand-
some building on Twentieth street, East, Saskatoon, and maintains
branch offices in Regina, on Cornwall street.  It employs eight sales-
men, including two city salesmen, one of whom is located at Saskatoon
and the other at Regina.  The Saskatoon office gives employment to
twenty-five, while the Regina department has a staff of twenty efficient
employes.[sic]
