Shortening of articles, due to space limitations, sometimes is necessary. Care will betaken to preserve the writer's meaning in all cases. Columbus Office (Ritter News') At the close of 1925, Mr. W. M. Pryor, our President, completes thirty years and three months of continuous service with our company. We have only a few men in our organization who have been associated with the W. M. Ritter Lumbar Company so long and Mr. Pryor is the youngest of the number. We congratulate him on his splendid record and are confident, from all appearances, that he will be good for at least thirty years more! Bulletin from the Bowling Boys! The latest glad news is that "Our Team" bowled the Watkins-Eier- man team, (with whom they were tied for first place), on December 1st, and beat them three games, thereby getting a strangle hold on first place. The record of the team to date is twenty-eight games won and eleven lost. On December 1st, they had a total of 2617 pins, which is high for the league. A special feature of the match with the Wat- kins-Eierman team was the attendance of eight of the Columbus office girls, whose rooting did much to help the bowlers win the games. The members of the team appreciated the supporfi; given them, and hope the rooters continue to come out and spur them on. Mr. C. M. Hawkins, our salesman in the Pittsburgh territory, who has recently undergone two operations in St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota, is getting along nicely, according to the latest reports received from Mrs. Hawkins. His many friends in the Columbus office trust that he will be sufficiently recovered to enjoy his Christmas holidays and will be able to be around again early in the coming new year. Our Human Radio—Miss Nettie Kei'y, our telephone operator, seems to be able to pick messages from the air, or at least from people's heads. A man recently came to the window and stated that he wanted to see one of the girls in the Columbus office but had forgotten her name. Was Nettie "flabbergasted?" She was not! She immediately replied that he must be wanting to see Miss Weichold, and he did! We refuse to divulge her secrets of receiving and delivering such messages, as it must be extremely handy to a busy telephone operator. In all the hectic rush of holiday shopping strange things will happen, but one of the funniest things we have seen to date was Miss Ingamells trying to walk off in "Jerry" Sargent's coat.
