Viscount Leverhulme, England's great soap manufacturing magnate, recently passed his 72nd birthday, but has nevertheless planned to tour the world to inspect the various enterprises with which he is connected. He will visit New Zealand in December. Lord Leverhulme, whose title was oddly formed by combining his family name, with that of his wife, was born William Hes.ketli Lever. He began life as a clerk in his father's grocery store Sn 1867< Twenty years later he began to manufacture soap on a small scale, which in time, with the help of judicious newspaper advertising, grew to a business capitalised at £100,000,000. Lord Leverhulme is a staunch supporter of Lloyd George. He was in Parliament for four years, but found the unprogressive atmosphere distasteful. Mr W. Ooodfellow, managing director .of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, has sufficiently recovered from his recent illness to be able to resume his duties with the company, which he will resume next Monday.
