SIS years old and was a member
of Temple commandery in AL
bany. The members of the AL
bany lodge came tofCorvallis to
attend the funeral.
]. NJ. Nolan, the we'll known
Corvallis merchant, made an ex-
tended visit last year to his old
home in Ireland. He likewise Wis.
tied London, and thereby hangs a
tale. In discussing business meth
DDS, there and in America, a Lon
don merchant inquired of the Cor
Wallis man if the latter had ever
given any "church benefit" days in
his store, to which Mr.. Nolan re-
piled in the negative. It was then
suggested that be try this London
idea when he returned home, and
the suggestion is soon to be put in
to use. In the near future this big
firm will give a series of church
benefit days. In other words, each
church will be assigned one day
and percentage of all sales made
bv j. M. Nolan & Son on that day
will be given to that church. The
only favor asked in return will be
that the pastors of the churches
provide two young ladies to remain
at the store for the daY to assist
in the financial part of the busi-
cess. Several local pastors nave
already been approached and are
highly pleased with this very gem
erous offer, and there is no doubt
that the idea will take" with all
denominations, as it costs the
church nothing and is certain to re-
suit in tidy sum for each congre-
