CHARLES W. BOLGIANO 



It is with sorrow we enter this, our Golden Anniversary year, for on September 19, 

 1938, Mr. Charles Bolgiano passed on to the Great Beyond. We pause here to pay 

 respect to the man who was our guiding hand (or fifteen years. A man, true and kind, 

 who' became our president upon the death of his father, Mr. Frank W. Bolgiano, on 

 November 30, 1923. No greater tribute could be paid to this man than the words 

 that he himself wrote of the death of his father in 1923. 



"To those of us who are left behind, he leaves an enviable legacy. His energy and 

 pluck will be ever a spur to greater action in moments of fatigue. His spirit of fair play 

 throughout his business dealing has set a standard which has become our greatest am- 

 bition to maintain. His kindly thought of others kept him ever in mind of his customers' 

 point of view, so that those who dealt with him became his closest friends. 



"We who were his associates intend to carry on this work he left behind, and in seeking 

 an ideal to follow we can find none nobler than the ambitions which led him on. Our 

 highest ambition will be to follow his undying leadership,- to continue to uphold his 

 standards of trade that had made his influence one of eternal good and which were 

 expressed in his simple motto, 'Show thyself a Man.'"
