74 HASKINS & SELLS October Mr. Sells Entertains ON Thursday, September 11, 1919, at the Hotel Astor, Mr. Sells tendered a dinner and dance to the members of the firm, managers, associates, staff, and employes. The occasion was the commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the firm and represented a landmark in its history— a fitting moment to recall past events and evoke old and interesting memories. During the dinner, the guests were entertained by a series of lantern slides showing the organization and growth of the firm and many facts of interest connected with its history and its work up to the present time. Pictures were also shown of members of the firm and the four oldest employes, namely, Mr. Kerr, who has been with the firm twenty years; Miss Bolles, nineteen years; Miss Taafe, eighteen years, and Miss Hatfield, seventeen years. About two hundred and forty persons were present. This number included many of the members and managers from out-of- town, among whom were Mr. Bickett, Mr. Kracke, Mr. and Mrs. Gause, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Palmer, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Hyde, Mr. and Mrs. J . N . Pat-ton, Mr. and Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Croggon, Mr. Sanford, Mr. Forbes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. and Mrs. Jumonville, Mr. Davis, Mr. Pflug, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, Mr. and Miss De Vault and Mr. Scoville. Mr. Sells was presented during the evening, by Mr. Hay, on behalf of the staff, with a handsome set of cabochon sapphire cuff links and shirt studs. The menu, which did full credit to the Hotel Astor, follows: Melon Cantaloup Okra de volaille, Creole Céleri Olives Filet de Bar de Mer, Amandine Chou Fleur au gratin Poulet du Printemps en casserole Légumes variés Pommes de Terre, Parisienne Salade de Laitue et Tomates Glace Napolitaine Friandises C a f é Noir Dancing was enjoyed until midnight, when the party reluctantly broke up, not, however, without leaving its guests knit together in a closer community of work and ideals, with a new incentive to carry on the firm's traditions and to make the future of Haskins & Sells even greater than its past.
