 Goodman, was head, an official of K. S. Goodman & Co., and also interested

Selling Saws from the Trenches 



The accompan.ving pictcure has a militar.v as well as business air. 



The French officer at the right of the picture who is wearing the "Croix 

 de Guerre" is Chr. Royer. a man closely connected with Atkins' selling 

 organization ; a non-commissioned officer and interpreter who was with 

 the American expeditionary forces and is a partner of the Franco-American 

 Company. Buenos Aires. When the war started, he went to France and 

 has taken very active part in the big fight for civilization. 



The gentleman next to Chr. Royer is H. Brun, who was sergeant-major 

 in an infantry regiment which took active part in the defense of Verdun, 

 and later in the thickest of the fighting on the other fronts. He is chief 

 clerk of the F. A. H. Company. Atkins distributors. 



The man with the heavy 

 beard is A. Dutrut, one of 

 the three partners of the F. 

 A. H. Company, who was 

 with the artillery for nine- 

 teen months of the war. Mr. 

 Dutrut has many friends in 

 the Cnited States, where he 

 lived for one year. At the 

 present time he is entirely 

 imbued with the idea of in- 

 troducing American hard 

 ware in France. 



Lieut. C. Bret, is the officer 

 on the extreme left. He be 

 longed to the famous Twen- 

 tieth Corps, which took part 

 in nearly all of the great 

 French offensives since the 

 beginning of the war. Some- 

 time ago he was decorated 

 with the "Croix de Guerre" 

 for great courage and devo- 

 tion. Before the war, Mr. 

 Bret was one of the F. A. 

 Company's salesmen, who was 

 very much interested in push- 

 ing Atkins' Silver Steel Saws. 



A great many of our readers are I.iuiiliar with the smiling countenance 

 of Mr. Cahne. the gentleman in civilian attire who is seated. Mr. Cahne is 

 manager of the Atkins branch at 10 Rue Gustave Flaubert, Paris, France. 



Last, but not least, we want to point out Mr. Des Rues, who is affiliated 

 with the F. A. H. Company. At first he was in the infantry, but just 

 before hostilities ceased he was specialist mechanic in the French a\iation 

 corps. It can be said of Mr. Des Rues that he was one of the very limited 

 number of business men who kept in close touch with his business almost 

 daily by correspondence from one of the trenches on the Somme when 

 in the infantry, as well as later on when attached to the aviation section. 



Now that the great war is over, those of the above who have seen fight- 

 ing will be just as much interested in- the business of selling American 

 made Silver Steel Saws in France.
