Miss YeatOn Retires
From Adams Employ
Delightfully."- Surprised

'Oh, by the way, Miss Yeaton, here
is a pair of gloves that must be
ready for tomorrow and late Sat
urday evening, Miss Miriam Sawyer,
a co-worker with Miss Emma j.
Yeaton at the d. d. Adams Co. store,
handed her a package, which Miss
Yeaton received reluctantly, remark
ing upon the thoughtlessness Of the
glove wearing public. bytimes. Upon
opening the package, which was an
ordinary store envelope and and not
the least suspicious looking, Miss
Yeaton found a box. In this box she
found, not a pair of ragged gloves.
but some gold pieces. These were
given her by the Adams store folks
as remembrance in event of Miss
Yeatons retiring from her work.
On Saturday, Miss Yeaton retired
from her work in charge of the
glove counter at the Adams store. a
position which she has occupied for
sometime. She has been employed
here. 80 years in all, ten years at the
Vickery and Hill publishing house
and the other % years on Water
street. What she doesn't know about
gloves isn't worth knowing. Miss
Yeaton has friends all over Central
Maine who will regret not seeing
her behind the counter as usual.
She has a happy faculty of making
friends and keeping them by her sun
ny disposition and her quick sense of
humor. Best wishes follow her.
