DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON
Avery delightful luncheon was
had at Hotel Bamesville last Satur
day when Mr. J. A. Cason, assistant
treasurer of the Carter-Collier Com
pany, invited several citizens of the
city to meet visitors from Boston,
who were here in connection with
business relating to the Carter-Col
lier Company, the party being also
on their way for a stay of several
weeks at Miami, Fla.
Those at the luncheon beside Mr.
Cason, were Hon. William H. Carter,
president of the Carter Company of
Boston, who, by the way, was for
several years a member of congress
from Massachusetts, Mr. Horace A.
Carter, president of the Carter-Col
lier Cos., Mr. W. P. Drumheller, gen
eral superintendent of the company’s
plants, Dr. W. O. Faxon, Mr. James
Meade, all of Boston, Mr. Charles E.
Lee, associated in the management
of the Carter-Collier Cos., Messrs. W.
B. Smith, D. L. Anderson, C. H. El
dridge, T. 0. Galloway, J. E. Bush
and B. H. Hardy.
Mr. Cason was toast master and
talks were made by Messrs. William
H. Carter, Horace A. Carter, Mr.
Drumheller and B. H. Hardy, the lat
ter of whom expressed the apprecia
tion of the Bamesville citizens for
the opportunity and privilege of
meeting the visitors and pledging to
them in the operation of the Barnes
ville plant the cordial interest
and every possible co-operation on
the part of the citizens of Barnes--
ville and Lamar county.
Mr. Drumheller was a citizen of
Bamesville about thirty years ago
and spoke in kindly terms of the late
Jackson G. Smith, who spoke words
of encouragement to Mr. Drumhel
ler, which helped to shape his future
life.
The luncheon was a most pleasant
affair in every particular and will
doubtless prove of mutual benefit to
the Carter-Collier Company and the
city and county.
