to effect Sunday.

TOWNSENI) JCQMPANI
BANQUET THURSDAY
One of thejbest ways for men to
keep togetWeV is to get close togeth-
er with their work and stay on the
job.
One of the first things the Town-
send Motor Co. did when taking over
the phtcey the Ford Agency, was to
try to impress upon the men the
necessity ; of co-operation. All along
the company has been pushing that
point, making it plain to all that the
owners and managers were with the
men, feeling they could do nothing
showing that they wanted the full
co-operation of them, which they have,
to the fullest.
Theursday night of last week—our
Friday paper is printed Thursday,
hence we could not print it before it
happened, though we .sometimes fore- have
cast them all right, The Townsend
Motor Co. gave a fine banquet at
the Stamford Inn, where the men
gathered and partook of a repast
they will not soon forget.
When the (lining was over Owner
R. F. Townsend, of the Townsend
Motor Co., started the speaking, he
being the toastmaster. His was fol-
lowed by another able speech when
J. O. Butler arose and made a fine
talk. Mr. Butler is the manager of
the business.
Following these with talks that all
betokened good will and loyalty' to
without the help, at the same time the business were speeches byt S. S.
Russell, L. B. Cole, Dave Pruitt, Ray-
mond Williams, Lance McCloud, Her-
bert Lawhon, Sam Morse, Lee Dil-
lard, Haskell Abbott, Robert Shelton,
W. B. Asabrook, and Tom Davis.
The affair is one of the best wo
time and will likely be followed bjr
other institutions, we believe.
