president. and william G. Dudley, secre-
tary and treasurer of the Odell stock
company, announced their retirement
from active participation in the affairs OF
the company yesterday, and the whole
business has been turned over TO their
employees.
Transfer OF the property and business.
which has been extremely lucrative dur
ing the past year. was made yesterday,
and a new company, TO be known as the
Odell brokerage company. was organized.
Louis w. Foster will be the president Of
the new company, j. NJ. Scott. Il. +. He'll,

in addition to the business cash amount
ing TO not less than 100000. thus making
a present OF property valued at about ST.
Oo0. 900 to men who have been their asso-
ciates and employees in the works for
years.
The old concern, which is now entirely
out of business, was organized Immediate
ly after the death of the late William j..
Odell by Messrs German and Dudley and
the late Thomas Shay. The men who have
now taken charge of the business were for
many years connected with the Odell con-
cern, either as operators or as account
ants.
Turning over the business by Messrs.
Dudley and German recalls an interesting
feature OF the life OF Mr. Odell, who sew
eral months before his death had II in
mind to give his business TO faithful en-
ployes. In carrying out hisdea the two
men feel that they are simply doing what
he would have done had he lived.
Messrs. German and Dudley started life
as messenger boys. Their fortunes are
now estimated in the millions.
