In view of his devoted work in the Association's behalf, there-
fore, it was most fitting that the 1959 auction should have been
named in honor of Claude Elliott. It was most gratifying, further-
more, that this memorial tribute should have proved to be the
most successful in the history of the Association's annual auctions.
The list of contributions contained many fine items, and receipts
from the spirited bidding totaled $1,522.75, more than $5oo above
last year's receipts.
The Association extends sincere appreciation to the contribu-
tors and the many persons who worked on the auction. Without
their cooperation and support this highlight of the annual meet-
ing could not have been. The following list of contributors is
believed to be complete, but a few inadvertent omissions may
have occurred. Please notify the office if any contributor's name
has been omitted in order that proper acknowledgment may
be made.
