Saturday night a very pleasant
event was the affair at the home
of Mr. George A. Comfort, where
a host of his friends gathered to
do honor to the gentlemen who re
ceived a letter from the Louisiana
State Rice Milling Co., expressing
their appreciation of the faithful
services he is rendering them in
the capacity of miller at the
Planters' Rice Mill.
The letter is as follows:
New Orleans, Aug. 4, 1913.
Mr. George Comfort,
Abbeville, La.,
Dear Sir:
Our records show that during the
milling season of 1912-13, that you in
your position as miller obtained the
best general results of any of our plants.
As an expression of our appreciation of
your efforts and the results obtained
therefrom, we take pleasure in handing
you our check for $175.00
Yours very truly,
Louisiana State Rice Milling Co.
W. B. CONOVER,
Secrefary.
Mr. Comfort is a man of sterling
good qualities, and no one who
knew him was surprised to learn
of the recognition he had received
at the hands of the company he is
connected with.
Mr. Comfort had planned the
affair in quite an unique way,
having his guests unaware of just
what it was going to be; until they
arrived at the home. A table was
set with all kinds of choice eatibles,
and all enjoyed the lunch. Music
and singing was a great feature of
the evening.
At the table, which was sur
rounded by the guests, was most
ably presided over by Mr. Jas.
McWhan. Toast after toast were
heard. Mr. Comfort assured the
guests of his appreciation of the
honor he received.
At a late hour the guests de
parted for their homes, all wishing
him a continuation of the success
he has had in the past.
Those present were: Messrs.
Maurice Berlinger,, J. T. Brooks.
