THE HOUSE OF MICHELL. 



The grou|i (d' portraits on this paye 

 is the first e\-er published showing the 

 members of' the seed house of Michell. 

 The |iicti]ies include the founder, to 

 whose untiring em>rgy and tibility the 

 house owes its present strength; his 

 brother, whose fortunes have bet'u 

 linked with the house almost from the 

 first and who has contributed so much 

 to the success; the hope of the house, 

 whose business career has commenced 

 so auspiciously. 



There are only five faces in the 

 jiicture. l>ut as each one of us gazes at 

 it many more rise before the mental 

 view — some dark, some fair, some 

 young, some older — all have helped to 

 mak(^ the house <d' ]\Ii(di(dl wliat it is 

 tod;i\. Phil.
