Dear Sir;— Since you have retired from busi ness, the writer, “while you yet live” wishes to pay you a little tribute, for what you have meant tp this com munity, knowing that in most cases one has to die before there is any good said about them. The writer looks back to the Big Bankrupt store; sees the little man with the Big ideas; watches him .keeping his competitors busy trying to keep up with his “Silver Drip” syrup; sees him bring it in by the car-load, and the people far and wide using syrup for everything. Sees him putting on clerks at 50c a week to start on, then advancing them rapidly. To work in Stewart’s was an honor. He turned out good clerks and if anyone else in town had good clerks Stewart had a way of his own of enticing them.- Stew art worked for Sftewart and knew how to do it. Stewart whs a shrewd business head and kept his competi tors busy thinking. Every clerk he turned out bore some of his traits, even like the sandy-haired chap now runs the business, walks talks like Stewart. May you live to enjoy your relaxation, are not expecting ' this from writer, but it behooves me to write you thus. Mr who and long You this U Will Wonder JAMES ST.
