1t seems fitting that this Laagu >,
representing the Loan and Building
Associations Of our State, should
pause in the regular exercises OF is
conventions long enough TO remember
in honor those deceased, who in life
have been active in its councils ana
devoted TO its welfare.
Perhaps il is especially fitting that
this should be done when such ser
vices have been so rendered by one
who has been so prominent in the at
Ad4i VI lIlt sclGAt anu Va ll4S IO-li-
munity in which he lived.
These things may we'll be said If

Of the Hallowell Loan and Building
Association, which many times ne
represented at our annual meetings.

in 1913 elected president of this
