Birmingham Apprentice Becomes Agent-General

Mr Frederick Arthur Pauline, the new Agent-General in London for British Columbia, arrived yesterday.

Mr Pauline was born in Henley-on-Thames in 1861, and on leaving school was apprenticed to the wholesale stationary trade in Birmingham.

In 1883 he went to Manitoba, and the following year moved to Victoria British Columbia where he built up a substantial business in dry goods, from which he retired fourteen years ago.

Some time after his retirement he entered politics, and has had a distinguished career.

The new Agent-General intends to exert his influence in inducing the industrial centres of Great Britain to take more interest in British Columbia than they have done heretofore. He feels confident that British Columbia is going to have a period of prosperity greater than at any time in her history.
