A. Ii. CLARK

The Bellingham Bay papers pay well
deserved tribute to Mr.. a. b. Clark, who
recently rendered his resignation as presi-
dent of he Commercial Club because the
pressure of his rapidly increasing private
business made it impossible for him to
give to the duties of the clubs presidency
the attention that he deemed necessary,
from his conscientious standpoint, with
out too great a sacrifice of his own inter
ests. Mr.. Clark was largely instrumental
in organizing the Commercial Club and
making it an important factor in the
business life of w hatcom. He is himself
one of the most prominent business men
of northwestern Washington, being the
proprietor of 1.-THE Fair" the leading
department store north of Seattle. Per
sonally he is very popular among all
classes of the patrons of his great store, as
well as in the best business and social
circles of the bay cities. He is one Of the
most extensive advertisers in the north
west and it is one OF the most rigid rules
of The Fair" that all of its employees
shall "Tell the TRUTH"
The ISLANDER is indebted to the What
com Reveille for the above excellent like
ness of Mr.. Clark.
