1t was a fine gathering, and the Of
ficers of the company hope to make
it an annual affair, expressing the
hope that at the next banquet the
number of employees in attendance
will be greatly increased.
The several speakers spoke in an
optimistic mood and predicted that
the plant would grow to large pro-
portions and that success would crown
the efforts of those who have put
their money into one Of Mankato's
best and most widely known institu-
tions.
The employees exhibited a loyalty
to the company and expressed them
seltes as being as much interested in
it's success as the men who had fur
nished the capital. A number of good
stories enlivened the remarks.
Before the meeting came to an end
Mr.. Hatcher expressed regret that
the Mayer Brothers, the founders of
the company, were not with them on
such a pleasant occasion. He paid a
high tribute to those gentlemen.
