Master Williams being of pronounced
democratic disposition was intensely
popular with the masters of lodges
and most of these felt it a privilege to
rally around him at the annual meet

Master, together with his well known
character as a business man and a
financier gave him a degree of i'm
posed confidence which IS seldom
seer among men and his leadership
in all matters affecting the work of
the craft was absolute and reliable.
His annual address upon this partic-
ular occasion was "a plain, straight
discussion of several elementary top
les concerning Masonry and the veal
of the race. While not flowery it was
at times eloquent from the very ma

To have your clothes pressed the Hoffman sanitary way is
positive assurance that they will be thoroughly steriized.
Every square inch of your garment will be treated with
