That we fully recognize and apply in our
organization the principles Of sound building

cerpts from letter written to us by Messrs
Lamar Barton agents for the Methodist
Publishing House. NJ. E. Church, South:
1--WE take this opportunity to ex-
press our appreciation for the man.
ner in which this work was handled
Now that we have actually occupied
the building for thirty days, and have
had tenants in it for about two
months, we feel in position to say
that the work is entirely acceptable
We feel that this building is a real
credit to the Methodist Church, and
also to the contractors and architects
"The fact that you completed the
building more than month ahead of
your contract which enabled us to
allow our tenants possession ahead of
their leases, and, in addition, the fact
that you saved the publishing house
little over four thousand dollars on
the contract price, is gratifying in
deed

Christian Advocate
August "a, 1922

Bids were asked for and after considering the
offers of eight of ten contractors, it was decided to
place the contract with the Wise Granite and Con-
strncon Co, of Richmond Va. The Building Com
mittee was largely influenced in placing the contract
with the above due to a special provision
made by them offering the building not to
exceed the price given by the lowest received and
if there should be any saving the work, after a
certain profit had been made by them this saving
would be divided 10 per the Publishing House
and 20 cent to the contractors They also agreed
TO complete the building not later than August /
1922 The building completed about the last of
June, thirty full days ahead Of contract time en-
aiding us TO rent large number Offices one month
sooner than we had expected, and when the final
figures of the contractors were received they had
saved the Publishing House 600 on their con-
tract We feel that the Wise Granite and Construc-
ton co. are due the thanks and good will of all
Southern Methodists for the way they have handled
this work In these days Of high costs when prac-
ucally every building erected has many extras and
the final cost is much above what was originally
called for. feel that these contractors deserve
place all TO themselves in esteem, and we feel
sure thai they Will enjoy great prosperity in the
future"

MIR. w. T. Crosby
An Appreciation
BY DEAN KAYE

In the death of Mr.. w. T. Crosby
the community has suffered a distinct
loss in its moral and spiritual aspects.
1 have never known a man, clergyman
or layman, who more deserved the
title, '%Christian Gentleman" than did
man, but Mr.. Crosby deserved it all.
He was clean, honest, chivalrous, gem
erous and sympathetic.
In his dealings with the people in
the store he was the watchful, So
licitous father, rather than the en-
ployer of clerks. He bore their trou-
bles and failures as tho they were his
own, and many a one can testify to
his extreme generosity, both in money
and sympathy, when difficulties ap-
peared upon the way.
In all the years of our close In
timacy I never knew him to take an
attitude, to say a word, or to do
mental criticism upon him.
He was of a retiring disposition,
and was really shy in the presence OF
those who did not know him well. He
was silent in the face of display. and
ostentatior in any form was particu-
larly offensive to him.
He had one characteristic which We
ca n i'll afford to lose; he tried to do
one kind, good thing every day.
He was always patient in difficult
ties and discoura gements, no matter
how they assailed him. He believed
in the best and helped to cover up the
worst.
No demand was. ever made upon
him in either a public or a private
way to which he did not respond in a
cheerful and most generous manner.
Once he gave his friendship he was
loyal thru and thru. He was kindly
in all ways, and courteous above

w. T. Crosby was born December
20, 1852, at Mansfield, La, the son
Of William and Frances Crosby, pio-
nees in northern Louisiana. His
father, William Crosby. born in Yer
mont, had emigrated from New eng
land to the south. He and his brother,
E. H. Crosby, married sisters in Ala
bama before they settled in Louisiana.
In 1870. w. T. Crosby was sent to
Hartford. Conn, and received his edu-
cation there. After attending school
at Hartford he went to New Orleans,
where he entered the employ, in a
pasition corresponding to that of a
trades apprentice. of the wholesale
dry goods firm of Peet, Yale & Boiling.
He was soon advanced to the posi-
ton of representative of the company
as a travelling salesman. For some
eight years he travelled thru south
western Texas, then a frontier country
where banks, railroads and the like
were unknown.
Leaving New Orleans, Crosby would
so to Galveston or Matagordo Bay by
boat There, with a colored packer,
he would begin his semi-annual round
of visits by wagon built to order. He
collected, on each trip, for the goods
sold or the previous trips, and some
times carried large sums of money
thru the widest of the country His
career at that time was full of chance
and adventure.
Came to Topeka in 1880.
On August !, 1880, in partnership
with his brother, Erastus H Crosby,
William T. Crosby opened dry goods
store in Topeka, which was the orig
inal firm of Crosby Brothers. of which
William T. Crosby was a member.
The store was in the north half of
the building now occupied by the
Bank of Topeka. In addition to the
