DECORATION DAY
PROCLAMATION

We call upon all veterans of the
United States army and Confed-
crate veterans to unite with the
Civil war veterans in commemo-
rating the memory of the dead
Those who may know the grave
of any soldier will confer a favor
by letting it be known, SO that
we may decorate with flags and
flowers.
Let us make this day day sa
cred to the memory of the dead
and that not a single grave but
has flowers strewn upon it.
This is one of the highest
marks of noble and better civ
ilization.
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp
of power,
And all that beauty, all that
wealth e'er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour
The paths of glory lead but to
the grave"

sociation.

where many new conveniences
for the benefit of its patrons have
been added.
All preparations had been COM
pleted, after weeks of work, for
the change, which took place at 5
O'Clock last night Two operators
We're left on duty at the down
stairs Office and two others were
sent into the new Offices. A mv-
ment later the change he'd been
made and the new offices were in
operation. The change was neces-
STATED by the rapidly increasing
business of the company in Glen
wood and vicinity.
In the business end' of the
Office a standard magnetic switch
board of just twice the capacity
of the old one has been installed,
and Manager Fred Claudon has
already been complimented on the
Improvement of the service. as
voices can be heard much clearer.
The operators have been fitted
with new breast-piate transmit
ters. a much more convenient ar
rangement than has been in
vogue.
For the accommodation of the
public a spacious waiting room
has been provided and two booths
of the latest design. a feature
in them that will be appreciated
is the automatic light. as the
booths have been so constructed
that closing the door causes a
light to flash on and remain burn
ing as long as it is in use.
With the moving into new
quarters is begun another chapter
in the Glenwood history of the
telephone company For nearly
fifteen years W. S. Parkison has
been the company's agent here.
and he has been one of it's most
valued representatives. He has
seen the exchange grow from an
insignificant affair into the pre-
tentious business ia is now but the
removal from his store made nee
essary the appointment of a new
manager.
Upon Mr.. ParkisOn recon-
mendation, and because of the
splendid record of the young man
himself, the company appointed
Fred -Claudon its local represent
ative. This will prove welcome
news to his numerous friends who
have predicted this promotion for
him for months.
Fred Claudon is n graduate of
the Glenwood Springs high school
and has practically grown up
with the business. He started his
career at Rife where he worked
for George Clark. Later he came
to Glenwood and occupied the po-
sitions of operator, inspector and
manager. He is a young man of
whom the town may well be
proud, for his promotion to his
present position of responsibility
and trust comes as just reward
for work well and faithfully done
for many years.
Under his direct supervision the
work of yesterday was accom-
plished without a hitch and he al
ways has proven himself alive not !
only to the interests of the COM
pany but Of the public as well.
Next in Importance, but first in
interest, to the subscribers, are
the young ladies who go under
the generic name of Central"
and to whom is due in such large
measure the successful operation
of an exchange.
To them the public owes large
debt of gratitude for their many
cOurtesies and numerous atten-
tiOns which are not called for un-
der the rules, but which are al
ways cheerfully given. Just how
