Western Union began on Sum

Western Unions first executive

in 1851 was equipped with a
single roll-top desk, few chairs
and a cast-iron cuSpidor shaped
like a plug hat. 1t was a modest
beginning. But the men who
founded the company had great
plans.
The goal that was but dream

progress, speed and efficiency are
constantly being attained.

Wholesale and re tail

chicken, ham, or turkey, as the
main dish an excellent way to
prepare quick meal for the unex-
