The office of the Anderson wooden
mills was the scene OF another pleasing
event Monday last, at which time the
employees of the mill, through their
spokesman, Mr.. John Reilly, presented
| Mr.. Lewis Anderson, the retiring agent,
whom they had served under for differ
ent periods, some for great many years,
with gold headed rosewood cane, the
event which the gift commemorated be-
ing beautifully engraved thereon. Such
a testimonial of esteem speaks volumes
to the recipient, and that Mr.. Anderson
was so moved by the act as to be unable
| to express to the donors what filled his
heart is not at all surprising. Rarely
does an employer retire from business
with as many well wishes as 1t is Mr.
Anderson's to enjoy.
