MAX HUMPHREY WILL 60 EAST;
 IS PROMOTION
Local Man Appointed Man ager of Chicago Divi-
 sion for Hills Bros.

Selected by Hills Bros. to oe manager of the Chicago Division which that company will open up on June l, next. A. A. Max Humfrey, who arrived Tuesday IS here winding up his business af- fairs and preparing to move. Ii has represented the company il Alaska for the past nine years boosting his coffee sales figures last year to 400. 900 pounds, con sidered by coffee men to be Ie- markable record for territory so sparsely populated.
 MT. Humfrey will be succeeded here by Joe Meherin, who nos only takes over the famous red can coffee line but other lines handled by the former. MT. Hum frey will remain here until next Tuesday, leaving for San Fran cisco to prepare to take up his new position.
 Regrets to Leave
 Coming to Treadwell in l9os, MT. Humfrey has been in Alaska continuously for the 20 years since. The first Il years Of his residence was entirely in South eastern Alaska and largely in Jul neau. He was connected with the Treadwell Company for one year. assistant agent here for the old Pacific Steamship Company for a similar period, then became associated with the late Henry Shattuck, going with him into the Alaska Supply Company in which he actively participated until the World War. During the war ne was connected with the Spruce Production Division of the Army and was superintendent Of a saw mill at Craig in charge of pro duction of airplane spruce, n 1919 he secured the Hills Bros account for Alaska, adding others immediately and since then has covered the entire Territory an nually, making his headquarters here.
 My one deep regret in accept ing the new position is the fact that it necessitates my leaving Alaska, severing connections and leaving friends of 20 years stand ing Mir Humfrey said. But tue opportunity was too big to be passed up. The new Chicago divi- sion will serve five States with population of 2O,00o.Oo0 people, making it the largest of any of inc eompany's divisions. While 1t is virgin ground for Hills Bros.' II offers a chance for service to the firm and for advancement to myself that cannot be neglected
 Selected From Many
 A recently issued bulletin con tains the following announcement by the company management:
 "A total of ten applications have been received and while the selection was not an easy one to make. we have decided to dele gate to MT A. A. Humfrey the re- sponsibility (and distinction) or
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-02-16

assuming the management of the Chicago division.
 Tn our opinion, Mr. Humfre / is exceptionally well-fitted for the position that he will occupy. fp' he has had a most valuable bust. ness experience and training, and we have learned, during the Dc riod of years that he has been req resenting us in Alaska, that he can be relied upon to exercise good judgment and is competent, in every essential way, to take charge of, and direct, affairs in the new division that will be an nexed about June l.
 Between next month and June, MT. Humfrey will visit at least two of the company's middle west ern divisions to study organiza- ton. sales, advertising and other methods and get experience Tn management problems. He will spend month in the Minneapolis division and another month at Kansas City. He expects to reach Chicago sometime in May and m- mediately assemble his own force.
 Move Boys East
 He will make his home in Chi cago and will move his two sons there as soon as he gets establish ed. They are now attending school in Portland, Ore. TA@ fact that h. is enabled to have the boys with him was an added inducement to accept the Chicago position.
 MT. Humphrey is interested ,n several businesses in the Terrl- tory beside the Juneau Lumber Mills, of which he is a director. He said he would retain these in- terests as he is confident they will increase in value as the Ter ritory makes progress.
