pany passed out of existence in the
early SOS its offices were in the house
on College avenue now occupied as a

near by. which carpenter shop was az
terward torn down TO make way for
Mr.. Rees' residence and the old safe
thrown out into the yard where 1t has

the safe. If anything, but had never
been given the opportunity to satisfy
