during our eight years residence.
In behalf Of the new frm, Mr.. L. 1.
Ginin and Mr.. s. L. Cutter, we wish
to say a word. We know Mr.. Giffin
to be newspaper man OF ability. He
has demonstrated that fact to US
during the three months he has been
in our employ, the first three weeks Of
which time he was compiling the New
Era's commendable special agricul-
tural edition which was issued last
January l. He was for Two years tel.
egraph editor of the Pueblo Daily
Chieftain and prior to that time was
10 newspaper work on other city
dallles and weekly papers. He Is a
maR Of good business ability and judy.
ment.
Mr.. Cutter is one OF Crowley coun-
TVS well known business men. The
fact that he has been connected with
one 0f the largest manufacturing
plants 10 the state for more than ten
years, during which time he has ad-
vsnced to the position Of auditor,
pruves his worth.
These two young men will inquest.
ionably rapidly develop into a strong
business firm that will be an asset to

them TO you. Truly yours.
