Maple Avenue High School: ' We congratulate you on the good Work being done in the Maple Avenue Evening School. An opportunity such as is presented in that school forthe Worker, during his spare evening hours, to add to his know- ledge and skill, is a golden one and the results are certain to- be of great value both to the worker and the community. The new plan for trade extension with day classes where those learn- ing trades may come for a part time technical education is undoubtedly a splendid one. I May continued success be yours: .

This company was founded some 28 years ago by H. B. Adams and S. M. McKee, starting first with a tinsmith shop and store at the present location, 128 So. Main Street. Later a complete stock of hardware was added and the company has grown until now it ranks among the solid and prosperous mercan- tile establishments of the city. Mr. McKee, who is one of the best known hardware men in the county, is still an active partner in the business, while Mr .E. B. Adams, son of the original H. B. Adams, is his partner. ' Over a year ago the members of this firm suggested to the em- ployees the question of co-operation and an association was for- med having for its object the pooling and investing of the sav- ings of the latter in some profitable manner. The scheme became a success. Later the form of organization was changed somewhat to permit of a larger participation in the profits of the store. The association is now known as the Adams Sn McKee Trading Co. and numbers in its membership, besides the employees, many patrons of the store. Stock in the Company may be purchased on the instalment plan. Last year the members drew dividends of ZZMZZ and there are still greater profits for the future the officers assert. Eventually the Trading Company will own and operate the entire business. Mr. E. B. Adams is president of the company and Mr. J. P. Lopez, for four years an employee of the firm, is secretary. An- other long-time employee, Mr. V. P. Wilson, is treasurer. The officers will be pleased to give information regarding operations of the company to anyone calling at the store.
