Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS S3 Miss Taaffe Celebrates MISS LORETTA ANNA T A A F FE entered the Haskins & Sells organization June 12, 1901. Having been continuously in the organization since that date, Miss Taaffe celebrated her twenty-fifth anniversary on June 12, 1926. By this we mean her twenty-fifth anniversary with the firm. Confessing to having been born on February 28, Miss Taaffe takes advantage of experience gained in keeping to herself the volumes of confidential information concerning the affairs of clients and is silent as to the year. For the benefit of those who are inclined to be inquisitive, it may be said that she is as young in spirit, action, and disposition now as she was when she took up the work of typing yard-square reports. For some reason or other, when we think of Miss Taaffe we immediately think of monstrous statements being typed as nonchalantly as mere personal notes. Reviewing Miss Taaffe's career also recalls many of her erstwhile favorites who figure in the earlier history of the firm; Peter White, who dubbed her "Flossie"; Eugene Hifton, Harry Lee, her particular friend, "Riley," and Belle Hatfield, who still remains to check her up when she recounts to her younger associates glittering tales of bygone days. Miss Taaffe typifies the spirit of Haskins & Sells; no task too trying; no statement too long, wide, or difficult; no amount of work too much to interfere with punctuality, regular attendance, strict application, and abundant good nature in the common purpose of serving clients. Such devotion to an organization, year in and year out, over a quarter century is a fine tribute to the sterling character of the individual who is the subject of this sketch. The firm owes much to Miss Taaffe. Hers has been a contribution which in some respects sentiment alone can compensate. In acknowledging this obligation, may we add the wish that her future may be long and filled with an abundance of happiness. Any organization is fortunate which can boast of members who, like Miss Taaffe, bring untiring and cheerful devotion to its daily work.
