Irving r. Gibson, who has been In
business continuously. for more years
than any other citizen of Bennington,
retires today through the dissolution
Of the partnership known as the I. Il.
Gibson company and In whichsa he,
Grant l., Harbour and Frank N. Gal
lagher were the partners. Mr.. 9Th.
son and Mr., Harbour retire and the
business is to be continued by Mr..
Gallagher. The company has con.
ducted .bake.y and general grocery

The Gibson bakery, which has been
in operation for more than half "a
century, was established by Mr.. Glib.

sick Falls was largely due to his per-
sisteuce and energy. The charter
for the raiiroad was secured In 1894.
