prominence envied by many, and enjoys a reputation 

 justly earned. lis succe.-s is largf ly due to the modern 

 and liberal methods employed by its officers, who ex- 

 emplify the o'd aiage, that "L,ibrrality begets liber- 

 ality."' At the helm of this in titution is found Mr. 

 George C. Lewis, its president, who has had the active 

 management of the bu-iness for years. Mr. Lewis, 

 whose portrait appears in this is>ue, is the son of the 

 late G. B. Lewis. He is a young man of lare business 

 sagacity, energetic, of high integrity, and thoroughly 

 alive to the be.-t interests of his company and its cus- 

 tomers. George C. Lewis is well known, and occu- 

 pies a position of prominence among the leading 

 manufacturers of b'e supplies. 



The Lewis Company givts employment toover 100 

 people, and now, while the flowers and buds have not 

 yet arrived, and the bees are ,>-till sleeping, and the 

 gfround is covered with snow, all banc's are working,

 every way G. B. Lewis are. and have bt en for years,

 honorible dealing testify to their popularity as well 

 as reliability.
