An item Of special interest to the
Waterbury inn family and to many in
town was the one in the Boston pa
per headed, ssWool Trade Honors
Price" William Price, Of whom the
article is written, has been a guest
at the inn every summer for 10 years.
The clipping reads: Seventy EIGHT
members of the Boston wool trade and
other friends did unusual honor last
night at the Algonquin club to Will
liam Price, who is retiring from busi-
ness. Mr.. Price has been for the past
% years buyer for the Arlington mills
and one Of the oldest men connected
with the business He was formerly
broker in the wool trade and was
once connected with the firm OF Man
ger & Avery. He entered the wool
business in 1867 and his long connec-
ton Herewith, particularly in the POI
sition OF buyers for the mill con-
Germ, gave him conspicuous place IN
the trade In recognition thereof, his
friends gave him dinner and pre-

resolutions, beftting such sa occasion,
were signed by all present, the gath
ering including some Of Mr.. Prices
friends fre,a New York and Philadel-
phia, rs wen as the Boston trade. The
resolutions were signed in the order
Of entrance into the wool trade and
the list covers the period from 1861 to
1909. On the cover of the elaborate
menu prepared for the occasion were
the dates showing Mr.. Prices long
connection with the trade. 1t is sig
nificant that he entered the business
only six years after Charles +. Avery,
with whose firm he was associated at
the time, for Mr.. Avery is the dean OF
the trade. 1t is fitting, accordingly,
that Mr.. Avery should give historical
sketch OF Mr.. Prices connection with
the business. Jacob F. Brown, OF the
firm Of Brown & Howe, was chairman
Of the dinner and presented the cup
to Mr.. Price kilograms and cable
messages were received from distant
friends. Incidentally, Mr.. Price was
made an honorary member of the Bos-
ton Wool Trade association at the an
nuaI meeting recently, a distinction
which has not been accorded to any
other man. Those who know him
here rejoice in his activity and trust
that many years of usefulness may be
his and that Vermont and this locality
may claim a part OF his vacation
years.
