GOLDEN WEDDING 



WE, THE sons of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Allen, 

 are proud to dedicate this Book of Berries 

 to our parents. We are glad to tell you that 

 they have had Fifty Happy Years together. So that 

 all of their many friends could be able to share, to 

 some extent, our joy in this occasion, we have 

 begun this Book with the above picture. It was 

 taken on November 12, 1940, the day of their Golden 

 Wedding Anniversary. 



"Pop" and "Mom" (as they have always been to 

 us) were married near Mardela, Maryland. From 

 the very beginning they worked shoulder to shoulder, 

 not only at the job of marriage, but at the task of 

 building up a business of their own. Four sons 

 were born and reared. The oldest, Walter K. Allen, 

 lost his life in India where he had gone in his chosen 

 work as a Missionary. The rest of us, Fulton, Lee 

 and Albert have worked in this business from our 



childhood, and with ourjparents are the sole owners 

 and operators of W. FT Allen Company. We have 



all married and there are now five granddaughters and 

 three grandsons. 



Hard work, good products and fair dealing form 

 the foundation upon which their business was built. 

 We can say with complete honesty that we are all 

 trying and believe we are succeeding in keeping the 

 same high standards that were set by "Pop" and 

 "Mom" so many years ago. We know you join with 

 us in wishing them many more useful happy years.
