Jill, Lenore Birch; Queen of Hearts, It Is always a pleasure to the Blade to note the success of a young man and therefore we cordially felicitate Henry Lague on his promotion to the position of local manager of the retail business of the Long-McCue Lumber at this point. He has been with the company almost since the yards were opened here, has learned the business thoroughly and his promotion comes as the reward of meritorious services to a young man who has given his employers the very best that is in him. The increasing business of the Long-McCue company necessitated the separation of their wholesale and retail business and the former will be conducted in the offices in the Citizens Bank building, in charge of T. J. McCue, a member of the firm.

This made a new local manager of the retail business necessary and it pleases us to know that the selection fell upon a home boy so deserving and so BessieBoggs; Jack Spratt, Austin Boggs; His wife, Pearl Wiard; Three Killed by the Cars in New Mexico.
