nominee Paper company for the past
seventeen years, has resigned as pres
ident and general manager of the mills
and will be succeeded by III. A. j.

for Mr.. Spies resignation is because
he wishes to devote more of his time
to his personal interests and to gradu-
ally lessen his business burdens. He
has been identified with the paper
concern for the past twenty-five years
and is looked upon as one of the best
paper mill men i'm the country. He
is extremely popular with his employ
es, and the news that he is no longer
to manage the mills Is regretted by
the several hundred workmen. For
the past two years Mr.. Spies has been
DESTROYS of retiring from the active
management. but his resignation was
not handed in until last week. Mr..
Spies still retains his interests in the
mills and will remain on the direc-
torate and also as a member OF the
