This weeks Saturday Globe will
say:
by mutual agreement and consent
T. M. Shockley withdraws from the

day, November Ord.
"The firm of Johnson and Shock
ley Bros was formed in May, 1884.
In July, 1894, the interests of ]. w.
Johnson were acquired by Shockley
Bros. and |. w. Cook, the firm name
becoming Shockley Bros. & Cook. The
incoming member had at that time
been employed in the Office for about
four years, so the three men, G. w.
Shockley, Il. M. Shockley and l. w.
Cook have been closely associated
in business, and in the same office
building, for tweniy-seven years
more than a quarter of century.
@'By the withdrawal here noted, the
entire holdings of the Saturday Globe
concern pass to the two remaining
partners, the new firm name becom-
ing Shockley & Cook.
Thirty-Three Years In Town.
"The retiring member r. M. Shock
ley, after thirty-three years in the
newspaper business in OskalOosa,
naturally feels that this change. is
literally breaking home ties He is
not going to rush away, however. For
the present, at least, he will frequent
familiar haunts, with headquarters
at the same old stand the Globe of
flee. Having been continuously in
business for so long a period, Mr..
Shockley welcomes needed vaca-
ton. His parents, who reside in New
Vienna, Ohio, have reached the four
score years period, and it is his in
tention to go back to the old home
for more extended visit than would
be possible if he were engaged in
business. In the meantime he ex-
poets to still consider Oskaloosa his
home.
'The members of the old firm have
been mixed up in a business way for
so long-'linked by the ties of mutual
interest'-that the stepping aside Of
one partner is much like dismember-
ment. The incident becomes the
occasion for recalling and reviewing
the sundry vicissitudes, ups and
downs, anticipations, anxieties, pleas
ures and disappointments that COM
prise the sum total of business eXper-
fence. Just the same, it is a great
game, we've all enjoyed it, and there
are few regrets. After being part
ners so long and amicably, it will be
impossible in many senses of the
term-we would not have it other
wise--tO ever dissolve
As To the Future.
This is not an suspicious period
in which to make glittering promises.
However, the remaining pair will GER
tainly endeavor to see to it that the
job printing department maintains
its usual excellence, and that the Sat
urday Globe continues to fill that
same old long felt want; yes, and
incidentally do lot of other things
in the direction of accomplishing the
purposes of a family newspaper.
There has never been a year since
its inception, but that the Globe has
been a booster, in every sense, for
the city, county and state. We have
also cheerfully contributed what
seemed to us a liberal share to every
good and worthy cause, material or
otherwise. 1t is a record we take
considerable satisfaction in and we
fully expect to keep it up"
