Our Booster from Jewell, Kansas • 2

OUR BOOSTER Page two one of its most public spirited and helpful citizens and ends twelve years of very intimate and pleasant fellowship among the employees of this bank. The well wishes of a host of friends goes with him to his new work. We are glad to announce that Jewell is one of the counties which will be under his direct supervision and we shall try to make it necessary for him to make frequent visits to this town in the interests of his company. ROBERT A. CRUMRINE The place in this bank made vacant by the resignation of Mr.

McClung will be filled by Mr. R. A. Crumrine. Mr.

Crumrine comes from Clyde, Kansas, where he has been engaged in the mercantile business for the past fifteen years. He has made a very enviable record as a business man, is now in the prime of life, and we expect him to prove a very efficient officer of this bank. His boyhood was spent in Brown's Creek township, and he is coming back to a community where he has many friends. He has made his own way in the business world and we feel confident that he has developed the qualities in business integrity for which this bank has always stood and we have no hesitation in presenting him to the customers of this bank as both able and square. Come in and get acquainted with him.

LIEUT. FERRIS E. PENCE While we are introducing people we want you to renew your acquaintance with this veteran of the World's War. We admit that Mr. Pence is not with us yet, but his letters are hopeful and before many moons have waned we expect you will find him doing business at the old stand.

Since you last heard from him he has had two wonderful days in Paris; then a long trip along the battle front through many places the names of which are familiar to all of us, but which none of us can spell and much less pronounce. He has flown over the lines many times, but much to his disgust it has all been done since the armistice was signed. Since the war is ended he is now just as anxious to get back to his little old job with this bank as six months ago he was to get to France. At one time his usual good fortune completely deserted him and he found himself a member of a squadron destined to spend long, weary months with the Army of Occupation. His early acquired habit of always hustling for what he wanted came into good play and he soon found a comrade in a squadron headed for demobilization that preferred to stay in Europe..
