GIFT TO MR. JORDAN STABLER
Business Associates Present Him
With Loving Cup On Birthday.
A pleasant surprise was given to Mr.
Jordan Stabler on Monday night, when the
members of the company bearing his name
and the office forces and salesmen of the
main and branch stores gathered at Mr.
Stabler's house in a body, numbering about
50, to pay their respects to him upon the
occasion of his birthday.

Mr. R. L. Bentley, the vice-president of
the company, in a few well-chosen words
presented to Mr. Stabler, in the name of
those assembled and as a token of their esteem
and regard, a solid silver loving cup,
handsomely chased, and engraved as follows:

Presented to
MR. JORDAN STABLER
On his
Sixtry-fifth birthday,
January 16,1905,
By his associates in the
Jordan Stabler
Company.

Completely taken by surprise, Mr. Stabler
in feeling terms thanked the donors
for their valuable gift. After the inter-change
of social greetings the party adjourned
to the dining room, where the
family, having been in the secret, a supper
was in readiness, the center of the table
being decorated wih an enormous birthday
cake which blazed with the appropriate
number of candles. At the end of a very enjoyable
evening all present wished Mr.
Stabler many happy returns of the day.
