We are now seeing the tradi-
tional block designs exploded and
redesigned with an assortment of
fabrics and embellishments
heretofore unimagined. Quilts are
now created by a new generation
of artists who are cognizant of
world affairs, social, economic,
and political

Many of these contemporary
quilts are creatively pictorial
and prosaic, intellectually
designed and exemplifying con
temporary symbolism. Modern
technology allows the artist to
create complex designs which
could not have been designed
or executed by quilters of a

Take an economic lesson from Alex Tilley

Most Canadians have heard
about Alex Tilley and his
endurable Tilley hats—thanks to
an innovative marketing
approach. So when the 55-year-
old entrepreneur came to town
recently, I asked if he manages his
personal finances as successfully.

“I’mrvery good when it comes
to marketing bit I'm not so good
with numbers,” he said.

“My second wife Susan and I
live in a townhdéuse in Toronto
which costs $2,000 month to
rent,” Tilley said. “One of my
worst financial moves was getting
caught in the collapsing real
estate market. I guess I forgot
what first goes up always comes
down.

“I owned a home in my first
marriage, but gave it to my first
wife Diane when we split up
Then Susan and I thought we'd
like to have a townhouse in the
city and a home in the country.

“But carrying the two places
bled me of two full years of
income. And because we'd
bought at the top of the market,
we had trouble unloading our
homes.” al

Tilley admitted he’s a risk-
taker with a high debt tolerance

“This time I’m putting all our
savings into a resource based
mutual fund that’s been growing
really quickly,” he said. I’ve also
borrowed more than $20,000 on a

WKP teams
win awards

Submitted

Two West Kootenay Power
safety teams achieved four
awards at the Workers’ Com-
pensation Board Regional First
Aid Competition held May 29,
in Nelson

First-time competitors Charlie
Seamark, Lauren Moorhead, Ray
Gausdal and Romae Seaman
eared first place in the novice
category. WKP’s senior team,
made up of Wayne Swann, Su
Dyer, Joe Wyatt and Mark Fish-
er, took second in its category
Swann was also named Best First
Aid Team Captain, while Dyer
earned the Best First Aider
award. Both teams were coached
by Diane Ferguson.

Each team was tested in a
mock-accident scenario involv-
ing four people who were injured
when the construction elevator
they were riding crashed ten feet
to the ground. This tested each
team’s ability to decide which
patients needed priority treat-
ment, to determine the best
method of transportation and to
make use of bystanders.

“It was tough,” Seamark said,
captain of the novice team. “You
Practice but a lot of it goes out of
your head under the pressure of
competition. You have to rely on
your instincts to do the right
thing. And it's never one individ-
ual that makes or breaks it for
you, it’s a team effort all the
way.”

Team members were also
required individually to assess
and diagnose injuries of victims
unable to speak.

“Leaming the skills and leamn-
ing to use them are two different
things,” Seamark said. “The
competition is good because it
lets you practice both. It also
gives you a reason to practice
and keep up your skills.”

tributions, although we do have to
borrow every February to put in
the money for the previous year
I suppose you'd advise us to bor
row to contribute for the current
year.”

“My investing is contrary to
what others advise,” he said
“Rather than diversifying, if I find
a winner I go with it. I want to
build up our savings quickly so
we can buy a home again. And if
the mutual fund faHs back, well,
that’s life.

“Your only security is what
you have in you. For me, th
translates into the investment 1
have in my business.”

But Tilley Endurables Inc.,
started in 1984, has had its own
problems. “Those business prob
lems have cost me a great deal of
money,"'said Tilley. “Again, I'm
great at marketing but very poor

the finances I trusted those
and thought every

though that turned out not to be

The rescue of
Endurables
with

Tilley
involved a partner
whom Tilley now is
embroiled in an expensive court
battle

But at least I've learned to
hire large firms of accountants
and lawyers {o help me run the
business rather than relying only
on individuals,” he said

“I pay others to do what I can't
do, and I pay for the best. 1 buy
the time of experts, to get second
opinions. Even paying $500 for
one hour of a man's time is very
cheap when you look at the total
money involved.

Tilley said his business grew
30 per cent last year, and although
he wouldn't disclose exact figures
because of the ongoing litigation,
Tilley Endurables’ annual sales
recently passed $10 million with a
profit of close to $750,000.
