Rubbing Elbows
THE annual meeting of nineteen twenty-one
has come and gone. It will take a
place in the firm's history as one of the
most important events thus far recorded.
The meeting was not only the largest, but
the best ever held.
For many years the firm has followed the
practice of calling together annually, except
for one year, the partners and managers.
From a mere handful in the
beginning, the number has increased until
this year there were fifty-one in attendance.
The meeting began on Thursday morning,
September 22, with general handshaking
and visiting until eleven o'clock,
when the business session opened. Mr.
Sells presided and greeted those present
with a few words of compliment on the
achievements of the past year. After a
reading of the minutes of the last meeting
and some remarks by Mr. Cook regarding
the general practice, the meeting adjourned
to Mr. Sells' and Mr. Ludlam's room,
where a buffet luncheon was served.
The afternoon was devoted to a discus-sion,
led by Miss Bolles, of secretarial and
office routine problems. In the evening
there were several private dinners, after
which the party, including the wives who
accompanied their husbands, attended a
performance of "Tangerine."
Friday was given over to golf at the
Garden City Country Club, where six
foursomes participated in a tournament.
The first prize, consisting of a dozen U . S.
Royal golf balls, was won by Mr. Fuller.
Mr. Vaughan received the second prize
which was a Thermos carafe. The "duffer's"
prize was awarded to Mr. Kracke,
Mr. Bickett and Mr. Gause not competing.
A dinner dance at the club house followed
in the evening.
Business sessions were resumed on Saturday.
Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Bickett led a
discussion of the firm's financial policies
and matters relating to financial department
routine. Mr. Dunn gave an interesting
talk on the proprietorship of working
papers and the accountant's obligation of
privileged communication. This was followed
by a general discussion of relations
with clients and with the public.
The program extended over into Sunday
and finally required the entire day. Mr.
Porte discussed the uniform system for
Dodge Brothers' Dealers and answered
questions as to its scope and installation.
Mr. Dallas presented the subject of tax
accounting with its many problems and
opportunities for genuine service to clients.
Mr. Wildman spoke on professional training
and the Bulletin. A question box
closed the program which was concluded
late in the afternoon.
