ADDITION TO KING CONSTRUC- 

 TION COMPANY FORCES. 



It is announced that E. P. Lovejoy 

 has resigned from the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Company, and become associated 

 with King Construction Company at 

 North Tonawanda, becoming vice- 

 president of that concern. The King 

 Construction Company has, in the last 

 year, enlarged its field of operation to 

 include the building of all descriptions 

 of ornamental conservatories and palm 

 houses for private estates, florists' 

 show rooms, parks, etc., many orders 

 for this class of work having already 

 been executed. To satisfactorily han- 

 dle this department a new factory 

 building has just been completed on 

 the premises at North Tonawanda and 

 special modern equipment installed. 

 The acquisition of Mr. Lovejoy, who in 

 addition to assuming the duties of vice- 

 president, will become superintendent 

 of the plant at North Tonawanda, will 

 be of material benefit to this new de- 

 partment. 



Mr. Lovejoy during his long resi- 

 dence at Irvington, was held in high 

 regard by his many acquaintances and 

 was the recipient of many tokens of 

 esteem by fellow employees on the oc- 

 casion of his leaving Irvington for 

 North Tonawanda.
