Cole was named treas urer. He was formerly an assist ant secretary. Virgil A. Hollis, also formerly an assistant secretary, was elected to succeed Mr. Fine as secretary. Creation of the new positions was described by President E. Colin Baldwin as "a move to broaden the scope of activities of our financial team. By freeing Mr. Lester and Mr. Fine from many of the day-to-day financial duties, die new alignment will en able them to concentrate more at tention on long range planning. The change will also permit them to maintain closer contact with shareholders and members of the financial community. Virgil A.

He travels alone from Brandi to Branch, Discovering errors that soon avalanche. He's not always welcomed with many open arms; While his work is needed too seldom it charms. You must dot your I's and cross your T's; Here is a man you never can please. You'll always find him smoking a pipe. The blend he is smoking smells like fresh tripe. Despite the above we all wish him well; Despite the times he raises hell. So while we feel that he's often too mean, I le must return often l o keep records clean. We all wish him well on this anniversary date And hope for more to commemorate. JNR 3 0007-SWP-000107571 H. E* Moore 25th Anniversary D. W. Drummond congratulating H. . Moore, after presentation of pipe. (Seems everyone knew he enjoys a good pipe.) C. E. Rutledge congratulating H. E. Moore, afterpresentation of gulf umbrella. And Harry Wilson, former Auditor, had to get his quip in. On February 19,1967 H. E. MOORE, Auditor, completed 25 years with The Sherwin-Williams Company, however, according to tradition, his actual cele bration did not take place until Sep tember when all the Auditors were in Cleveland lor the end-of-the-year work. During the interval Mr. and Mrs. Moore had a lovely vacation in Hawaii. He said the reason for the vacation was three-fold;--his son was spending a year in Hawaii in the Vista program (by the way, he returned to the University of Hawaii this fall to complete his schooling) and it is his 53rd wedding anniversary year, and his 25th anni versary with S-W. And what better reasons for taking a lovely trip? Mr. Moore said they traveled by land, sea and air to reach their destination and shared many lovely experiences. Then, at long last, September 8 ar rived and this became officially "H. E. MOORE'S BIG DAY" and from what we hear his fellow Auditors made it a "gala" occasion. A luncheon was held at Harvey's Royal Oak Room and a number of his friends and co-workers attended. His gifts were presented to him in an amusing manner by several of the Auditors. He received a pipe and pipe holder, a pen and pencil set, a lighter, an attache rase (they had a little skit about what Audi tens keep in their rases--much exaggerated and vety funny), 2 bottles of Martini Mix, a golf bag and a special golf club. Entertainment was prnvidetl by the Auditors and I am told that they tan really "ham il up." There was a skit in whirh one of the Auditors imitated a Comptometer operator at inventory time. As Mr. Moore is quite poetic, it was only fitting to have a skit with this theme, so one of the Auditors imitated Richard Burton reciting poetry--com plete with musical background. Last but not least, there was a skit to bring bark memories of Mr. Moore's trip to 0007-SWP-000107572 Hawaii. A group of the fellows sang one of his favorite songs, "Beautiful, Beautiful Brown Eyes" and Mr. Moore joined them. After lunch Mr. Moore was taken to Mr. Carl Stanley's office which was ap propriately decorated for the occasion. Refreshments were served and "Uncle Elty" was congratulated and reigned as "King for a Day." On the eve of his departure to Cleve land, Mr. Moore came into the Chicago And here wc have Mr. and Mrs. Moore and son, Jeff, basking in Hawaii life. "A rose between two thorns" he said.

Prior to his leaving for lunch with Messrs. Drummond and Rutledge, a group of 25-year members gathered In Mr. Drum mond's office and presented Mr. Moore with a "pipe" and a golf umbrella. A poem written by John Nessner was read___ And so it was that the Chicago office really started Mr. Moore's 25th Anniversary celebration. The pictures tell a story of friendship and respect for H. "Elt" Moore both in Western Region and Cleveland head quarters. Ana many, many more anni versaries would be our wish for our Auditor friend--H. E. MOORE.

Dealer Salesman, who planned the lunch in honor of Gene, brings out some points which sure has Gene in a serious reflection. Del Thompson listens intently, real izing the "big shoes" he has to fill. WHAT TIME IS IT?????? This is the question which Mr. E. T. Herzog asked himself and came up with the answer ............... RETIREMENT. Gene felt it was time to slow the pace which he has so diligently fallowed far 34 years ... it was time to relax somewhat and enjoy living his personal life a little more ful ly, for Gene has been a go-getter all these years and Sherwin-Williams Company has been the recipient of all his energyprofit producing energy in many fields. Gene Herzog started with S-W October 25, 1933 as Wallpaper Manager in our Peoria. Illinois Branch. From that point forward he progressed up the ladder of success through the following positions: --1935--opened the Bloomington, Illi nois Branch as Manager; 1937--opened the St. Paul. Minn.-Main Branch as Manager; 1939--Division Manager Min neapolis Area; 194346 U.S. Navy; 1946 -- Division Manager Indiana-Michigan Area; J951-53 Regional PMI Sales Man ager: 1953 Division Manager, Indian apolis Division. Gene has a remarkable record in hiring and developing many of the outstand ing men in Western Region. His integ rity and ability are of the highest and he will certainly be missed throughout the Region, While in Chicago attending the Divi sion Managers meeting. Gene was hon ored at a luncheon held in the M&M Club and those of us who had worked with him over the years had the priv ilege of wishing him well for the future. } -- 8 _______________ -- . fIIII1 -- 0007-SWP-000107576 Mr. Herzog reflects surprise as he is caught by die photographer enter ing MScM room lor lunch on Octobers. 9 0007-SWP-000107577 Hank Von Meeteren, Iowa-Wisconsin Division Manager, in a very amusing and original man ner made three presentations to Gene -- each item being the "one thing that Cene really needed" . . . and each envelope was found to contain--the "one thing that Gene Herzog needed most" -- a map of Indiana. from right.

On October 10 Evansville-Main, Covert and Madisonville surprised Gene with a farewell dinner at the Lamplighter Inn in Evansville and presented him with several gifts including a portable AM-FM radio which no doubt will come in handy on fishing and camping trips. Vonnegut's Incorporated, Gene's ac count of long standing, also honored him prior to his departure. On October 16, in conjunction with the Indianapolis Division Fall Consumers Sales Meeting, a luncheon was held in the Marrott Hotel to honor Gene at which Mrs. Herzog was also present. Among gifts presented was a pair of binoculars, presented by H. C. Collier, so that Gene might become a better Luncheon group on October 5 from left. Wally Kondiaus, John Nessner, Gisella Schrcy. Frank Flynn and Marge Carlson equipped "Girl-watcher" on Daytona Beach; complete set of fishing equip ment and a gift certificate to the local department store which came from his many friends both in and out of his Division. Mr. Drummond presented an Album of Letters containing well over 100 letters and cards attesting to the high esteem in which Gene was held throughout Western Region. We here in the Chicago office will most surely miss Gene Herzog's visits, which have been too infrequent in recenr years, for he brought a personal warmth whirh endeared him to all. Our very best wishes go to Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Herzog for many, many years of good health, happiness and enjoyment in their retirement. 10 L. 0007-SWP-000107578 0007-SWP-000107579 RETIREMENTS J. E.
