Agency.

Francis G. Luke returned yesterday
from a three weeks vacation. During
MS absence he visited New York City
and attended the old time telegraphers
convention and banquet at the " aIdorf
Astoria hotel.
Mr.. Luke has been out of the telegraph
service FOR eighteen years. Few would
nave known that more than twenty-five
years age he was telegTaphing Tor the
Western Union company. At one time
he WAS train disDatchee for the Oregon
Snort Line at PocatellO and during his
Geographic career worked for different
companies from Chicago to the Pacific
coast
Mr.. Luke says il is a fact, that no
where did he find any agency doing as
large business and taking care of as many
clients as the Merchants Protective as
ISOLATION. Of which he is the general
manager. SO Tar as the eastern papers
are concerned one would never know by
reading the large dailies in New York
Chicago, ST. Louis and Kansas City that
such agencies existed.
Mrs. Luke accompanied Mr.. Luke on
his eastern trip and returned with him.
