The insurance business of E. F. Fair
brother has been purchased the past
week by Herbert Wentworth, the latter
gentleman assuming the management on
Monday. AS an insurance agent Mr..
Wentworth is no novice, having been
engaged In the insurance business for 10
years, first as a member of the finn OF
Griffin & Wentworth, and later as sole
owner. In 1894 he disposed of the bust
ness to Mr.. Griffin, since which time he
has been engaged In other lines. Per-
sonally Mr.. Wentworth needs no intro.
ducton to Somerset people and is well
known as gentleman Of sterling integ-
rity. We have no doubt the business
which he has acquired will flourish un-
der the efficient management which 1t
will receive at his hands.
