Mrs. W. E. Horton, of Bassett & 

 Washburn, has the sympathy of the 

 trade in her sudden bereavement. Jan- 

 uary 29 she received a wire to the ef- 

 fect that her husband, who was in 

 Carrizozo, New Mexico, looking after 

 mining interests, had been stricken 

 with pneumonia. Before she could 

 make ready to go to him, she received 

 a second wire announcing his death. 

 The body was shipped to Evanston, 

 where the funeral was held. 



Quite recovered from a serious illness 

 of several weeks' duration, Miss 

 Agatha Greeley will take up her work, 

 February 7, in the office of the John 

 Kruchten Co. It is needless to say that 

 John Kruchten and C. L. Sherer are re- 

 joicing in the prospect of her return, as, 

 with the duties of her department add- 

 ed to those of their own, they have 

 more than had their hands full. 



After an experience in business for 

 himself at Denver, Edward Reynolds 

 recently took charge of the store of 

 J. H. McNeilly, on Sixty-third street.
