PRESIDENT IN FACT.
David Hale Tanning. in His Soth Year,
Real Head of Big Plant.

Referring editorially to the recent
annual election of the Royal Worsted
Corset company. the Worcester Ga
zette says:
The other respect which makes the
annual meeting noteworthy is that It
marked the reelection of Mr.. David II.

was just in the nature of things. In
itself there was nothing about itrto
| excite comment. There is, however,
something most worthy of notice when
the manner of man reelected is con-
sidered and the fact remembered that
President Tanning is in his S0th year.
Not only is he many years beyond the
age when the great majority OF men
deem they have earned rest and re-
tire. but he remains at fourseore the
active and energetic president of one
of the cfty's largest industrial con-
a figurehead; indeed still the potent
dynamic force personally directing the
planning for the further upbui1ding OF
the large business which had its incep-
tion in his mind and which he has con-
Quoted with such exceptional success
to the advantage of himself, his associ-
ates and the city where ne has lived
so long.
Mr.. Tanning is a type of business
man that may we'll attract attention.
