The Reason Why
Written by the Proprietor of a Business to the Members of His Staff Suppose that a man should send his young lady a diamond ring costing him five thousand dollars, and place it in a little velvet case which the jeweler threw in for nothing. Would he not think it strange if, on meeting her a few days later, she would say, "Oh, that was a lovely little velvet box you sent me. I am going to take every care of it. I promise to keep it wrapped up in a safe place so that no harm shall come to it."

Robert Laidlaw
"At the age of just 24, Laidlaw started what became the fastest growing company in New Zealand history. Within a decade, the Farmers Trading Company was the largest department store in New Zealand as Laidlaw delivered successive innovations that touched the lives of tens of thousands of New Zealanders: his iconic Hobson Street store; the Farmers free bus, the Farmers Christmas parade, hire purchase shopping, the Farmers tearooms, the rooftop childrens' playground, and the best quality goods at the lowest possible prices. Man for Our Time gives a panoramic account of one of New Zealand's greatest business leaders revealing an incredible blend of gutsy innovation and committed Christian faith.

Making Change
The Laidlaw Foundation was established in 1949 by Walter and Robert Laidlaw, sons of the founder of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Company. This book is a history of the Laidlaw family, how it amassed money, and why the brothers decided to disperse it as they did. "Making Change" is also a record of the work of the Foundation over the past fifty years. The impact has been to help children in need, to train scholars, and to support social, cultural, and environmental causes. Overall, this book seeks to identify what motivates people to act philanthropically and the implications of their doing so. It is interesting to understand what persuades wealthy people to give away their money and provide leadership in areas where government stewardship is lacking.
