50 Years of Wedded Life

Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Purdy had been married fifty years ago on Monday of this week. They were on duty as usual at the store all day. They were the recipients of many congratulatory cards and letters during the day. In the evening they were quietly enjoying themselves at their home. "George" was asleep in his favorite chair, when they were visited by their crew of loyal clerks and workers who arrived to congratulate them on their Golden Wedding Anniversary. In a manner to show the high esteem in which they held Mr. and Mrs. Purdy, they presented them with a handsome table. The self invited guests brought refreshments with them and a most delightful time was spent and enjoyed by both employers and employees.
