as the *ge>iwy was held by W. \V

is considered a very wise move on
the part of the independent ships
company.
The Hsrtwigsen store Is the logi
cal location for the agency, and
mitt* the additional fact that Mr.
H art w igsen has plenty of time to
devote to the affairs of the com
pany. is in itself a very effective
reason why the company's interests
will be properly taken care of.
