These words have guided him in business dealings, community service, church work and family decisions. MR. RENTMEISTER is an impressive-lookin- g individual with a dignified countanance and a decisive attitude about him that indicates any task this individual undertakes will bring success. In 1953, Mr. Rentmeister quit a good-payin- g job at HAFB to go to work for Dale Smedley in the plumbing busi EVENTUALLY he worked his way up through the various phases of the plumbing, heatbusiing and ness until he had earned the position of manager of the heating and division of the Smedley Company.

What a great way to serve but what a greater affect it can have on the boys. Frequently the greatest joy is found by taking the opportunity to be neighborly. This friendly, helpful attitude is the reason Rentmeisters company has established specializes in Payne products. Mr. Rentmeister has dealt with the Payne company for 25 years. An excellent relationship between company and dealer has been developed. WHILE SUCCESS in business is important to Donald Rentmeister, it is secondary to family and friends.
