to have a voice in the management. The 

 retirement of Mr. Dingee is .more a 

 change in the personnel of the stock- 

 holders than in the management, as his 

 brothers-in-law have carried this load 

 for a long time. 



I recall clearly the surprise after a 

 visit to the company's large plant, when 

 P. Joseph Lynch remarked casually that 

 be owned the Dingee & Conard Co. This 

 was understood to mean a controlling 

 interest. The company is prosperous, a 

 tact strongly brought out by the recent 

 branches in the south and in the west. 

 The officers are: President, Alfred P. 

 lieed, the company's counsel; vice-presi- 

 • Icnt, M. Henry Lynch; secretaty and 

 treasurer, P. Joseph Lynch. 



A Breeze From Holland. 



The bulb growing community in Hol- 

 land has been stirred by the withdrawal 

 t' one of the little army of salesman 

 travelers who come to this country, a 

 laan of long experience, who decided to 

 -tart in a business partnership, resign- 

 'ng the position with the house he has 

 represented here. This act would oc- 

 <'asion no comment beyond wishing him 

 well in his new venture were it not that 

 ' nterprise has run away with discretion, 

 f'ausing a breeze abroad with a sympa- 

 thetic ripple here. This was due to the 

 salesman-that-was informing one or 

 more of his customers here that he had 

 ^ copy of their order given him for his 

 former employers and that he felt sure 

 be could fill it better than they, an error 

 in business morality that merited con- 

 demnation.

A party of four, Gilbert Baker, 

 George S. Faulkner, John Mclntyre and 

 Edward Reid, went to Almonesson, 

 near Woodbury, N. J., Saturday, July 

 23, in Mr. Reid 's car. Fish were scarce, 

 but there were two exciting ex- 

 periences. A boat near them upset; 

 two fellows who were in it were so ex- 

 cited that the girl with them might 

 have been drowned had not Mr. Reid 

 .jumped overboard to her aid until his 

 boat came alongside. On the way 

 home an injured farmer, whose wagon 

 had been wrecked by a motor, was 

 charitably taken to the Cooper hos- 

 pital, in Camden.
