REED RESIGNS AS
RETAILERS SEC'Y
Secretary of Kenosha Re-
tailers' Assn. Resigns
His Post.
TO ENTER BUSINESS

Carl Reed, for the past four years
secretary of the Kenosha Retailers
association, has sent in his reslgna-
ton to the board of directors of that
organization with the request that it
become effective at once. He gave as
his reason for giving up his post
desire to enter business in kenosha
on his own account.
This announcement, made today by
Charles Pope, president of the Keno
sha Retailers association, came as a
complete surprise to many members
of the organization While it was
known by a few to whom Mr.. Reed
had told his desire for change,
his action at this time came I'M
expectedly.
No appointment has as yet been
made for a successor, according to
Mr.. Pope, and several applications
are now being considered by the
board of directors which are expected
to be acted upon between now and
the first of July when an appoint
Int will be made.
Built Up Organization.
During his administration as sec
rotary, Reed was instrumental in weld
ing the organization of merchants IN
to a harmonious group and his con-
slant preaching of modern merchan-
dising methods has benefited both the
merchants and the public. Reed in
stilled in the association a high
standard of ethical influence which
will leave it's impression on every
member for some time to come.
"While the board of directors knew
that Mr.. Reed was contemplating max
ing a change" declared President
Pope, in commenting on the resigna-
tion today, 1--WE regretted to take ac-
ton on the resignation. We accepted
it only after we tried to get Mr.. Reed
to reconsider and remain with us as
secretary of our association. He has
been one of the most valuable in
fluences in the organizations and
there isn't a merchant in the city
who has not benefited in some way
by his work. We are indeed sorry
to see him leave US"
Meet Thursday Evening.
Mr.. Reed took prominent part in
the activities of the state retailers
association and held a statewide
reputation as leader in that field.
In Kenosha he was also director OF
the American Financial agency, or
ganized by the retailers.
No idea of the attempts being made
to secure new secretary could be
uncovered at this time, but it is
known that several applications are
in the hands of Mr. Pope and the
directors and Investigations are be-
ing made in each of these cases to find
the most suitable man for this i'm
portant position. The Kenosha Re-
tailers' association will hold their
regular June meeting at 305 Main
street on Thursday evening of this
week at which time they will discuss
the situation and the board of direc-
tors will report the resignation. The
meeting is being held on Thursday
instead of Wednesday this morning.
The July meeting will be passed up
and the next meeting will be held on
the second Thursday in August.
