and has been manager of the North '
Side yard since 1902. This yard was "1
the first opened on the North Side,
and its success has been such that
it frequently has been found necessary
to move to larger sites. The
location at Twenty-second and Ellis iill

handling lumber, Mr. Wolseley has
done an extensive loan business, Awith
the result that hundreds of
homes were built on the North Side
that perhaps would not have been
there otherwise. He is one of the
incorporators and vice-president of
the Home Development Company,
organized to encourage building.

he was transferred to Fort
Worth. He is married and has three
children, Douglas, 9; Margaret, 7;
