first of the new year. Mr. Eppi-tein
thinks of locating i.i :ln east and
will h-ave this wt.ek for the purpose
of looking uj a h-eation. He makes
this change on account of the health
of his wi:'e which has bt en very poor
for the past two or thre years. As
a salesman Mr Eopstein has few
equals and during his years of ser
vice btliiud the counter at the store
of the Messrs Lwy he was punctual
to duty, faithful to his employers,
attentive, polite and accomodating
to customers. His resignation was
regretted by his employers, but
their be:t wiidies as well as those of
the employees of the store with
whom he was so long associated will
ever be with him, no matter where
his lot may be enst.
