Personal checks covering these items should satisfy any critic. With all this taken in good part I desire to thank the hundreds of friends and patrons who have given their moral and practical support, most of the directors have given loyal council and support, and the employees have been true, energetic and trust worthy, and in concluding may I bespeak for my successor, Mr. C. J. Dewey, the same loyal, and practical support, bearing in mind it is your institution, and upon your patronage depends its success quite as much as upon the efforts of the manager or his employees. Mr. Dewey has been a director of the company for more than fifteen years, during that time has assisted in taking inventories and statements of the business and is qualified to assume the position as manager. My resignation having been accepted by the board, I wish to assure them and the new management my good will, patronage and support and I see no reason why this store should not continue to hold a prestige and popular place among other . business institutions of the valley. years Having spent twenty-thre- e from the center of man's allotted time, which is invarably the best part U. with a of life, I leave the F kindly feeling and wish all success.
