Equitable Co-op met in annual meeting and, in additon to transacting other business, elected a board of directors for the ensuing year. The directors elected are: Dr. A. N. Leonard, Geo. W. Decker, Moroni Corry, Win, Tucker and Chas. S. Wilkinson. The report of the officers for the past year showed the business busi-ness to be in a thoroughly satisfactory satis-factory condition, a marked increase in-crease in the volume of business over the previous year being shown in the report. The 'substantial increase in the store's patronage and the more satisfactory condition of its affairs af-fairs generally are credited to the capable and untiring efforts of Miss Mame Parry, the manager, man-ager, who was installed in that position only a year ago. Under her directions the sales have in-cro-sad and friends have been won by the institution, until today to-day it is one of the leading con-cevrrs con-cevrrs of the city. |
