any OF them had given any serious
attention to this matter The initia-
tive in this matter was with him, 81
deem it not an exaggeration to say
that in a large degree they have
been unconsciously influenced in
this matter by his pioneer, unremit-
ting and undertaking course of
action"

Chicago ILL.,, March "a, 1921.
Mr.. r. C. Green has been with our
Company for great number of
years. He has been associated with
The Creamery Package Mfg. Com
pany for great number of years.
In the early COS he travelled through
the east and in Canada, demonstrate
ing and selling the Beimling Test
and calling on the eastern trade for
a number of seasons before he was
finally located in Wisconsin where
he has travelled for the last quarter
of a century.
Quoting partly from one of the
greatest of writer's, eve do not
come to praise him." We believe
that most of you know Mr.. Green
probably as well as we did; you
know his character, his kindness, his
consideration for not only his friends
but his fellow men, how glad he was
and how pleased, even if it was nec-
essary to go out of his way, to give
someone or anyone help as kind
act or gave advice of the proper
kind. In fact, this trait was so pro-
nounced that for years he has been
known among ourselves and to num-
bers of the trade that he was init
mate with as father"
We do not know the actual cause
of his death. We have known for
two or three years, however, that he
was not in the best of health, that
his blood pressure was high. We had
no idea, however, that the end of his
work was so near. In fact, orders
came into the office which he took
on the 18th of this month and daily
reports showing that he made four
calls on the 18th of this month in
different towns so that we infer he
must have been fairly active.
Among our travelling representa-
tives Mr.. Green was one of the deans
in our service and possibly, after
nearly life time spent travelling in
the interest of our Company, it was
undoubtedly as he would have wish
ed that he die, as one might say,
practically in the hearness.
We are not familiar with Mr..
Green's religious views or whether
he had any special church or creed.
We do not know what is written in
the pages, but it seems to us from
our knowledge of Mr.. Green's good
ness and his sincerity that if his
time had come and his place prepar-
ed for him, it was exceedingly fitting
that he pass on to his final resting
place at Easter time. Possibly his
charity and his kindness had some
thing to do with this.
We are sending floral tribute,
not from any one of us, but from
the Company and in the name of the
Company, and representatives from
the office, will, of course, attend the
services.
Yours very truly,
The Creamy Package Mfg. Co.
