 In January, 1923, MT. Shedd retired as president and was named honor ary chairman of the board. He was succeeded in active control of the bushes by James Simpson, who en- tered the store as an office boy in 1891
 Six years after his first appearance in the Field establishment in Chicago, young Shedd returned to his native town of Alstead, N. H., to marry Mary R. Porter, whom he had met while clerking in the towns dry goods store several years before. Two daughters, Mrs. Laura Shedd Schweppe and Mrs. Helen Shedd Reed, make their homes in Chicago. MT. Shedd was the first Chicago merchant to establish the half-holiday on Saturday.
 Until his withdrawal from active

II am convinced that this remark
able attainment could not have been
brought about except through the
sincere and hearty cooperation OF
each employee, which was evident
every minute of this trying period.
"It was a big job we'll done and an
achievement which has brought the
commentator Of the public and the
press of the city.
and now as we approach the eve
of a new year it is my sincere wish
that it may be one Of great happi-
ness and prosperity for my co-work-
ers in the Washington post office"
Mr.. Mooney said that very few
complaints have been made about lost
packages or anything else and that
he had received innumerable congrat'
uIations on the way the mails were
handled this year.
Only one delivery will be made to-
morrow, New Year day, and that at
1870 am, he announced. The clerks
will work on the holiday stagger
plan, some getting off tomorrow, 9TH
ers later.
