an enVlable record. He entered upon
his duties as secretary of the Salt Lake
branch eight years ago the first of Sep
TENDER, and from a few small, dirty
rooms in the Utah National Bank
building, with small membership, has
succeeded in building the association up
TO a strong organization. 1t is largely
through his efforts that the present
building, representing an outlay of
100000, was made possible.
Under his direction the Salt Lake as
ISOLATION has attracted widespread at
tentlOn among the association workers
throughout the country. Especially is
this SO along educational lines where
the local association has made rapid
strides during the past five years,
ranking first in this work among the
other associations two years, second
two years and fifth one year.
Mr.. Cox and MI Wright have long
been personal friends, working side by
side for two years in the Portland as
ISOLATION. and IL is largely through the
high recommendations OF Mr.. Cox that
Mr.. Wright was named for the posi-
ton.
