Henry L. Doherty of N.»w York
city, who celebrates his iiOth birthday
today, is known as one of the largest
operators of public utility companies
in America. Mr. Doherty grew up
ip Columbus, O.; worked as an office
boy, and ultimately got recognition
tor business ability that has made
him very wealthy, as he hud gained
control of a large number of public
utility companies'in Wisconsin, Tex
as, Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio and
other states. His inventiv e ability
and mastery of the technique of th%
manufacture of electricity and gas
have aided him in his ventures as a
capitalist, and also have won for kin;
high honors in the group of experts
who serve as manufacturers of light
Heat and power. In 1898 Mr. Doh
erty was the recipient of the first
Wall gold medal awarded by the
American Gas Light Association for
a paper ort the use-of gas as fuel.

Brooker. 1 am unchanged in my oph\
i«h that Mr. Brooker has done a
splendid work - with -the- -Florence
schools and that the board has made
a mistake in not electing him again.
I feel, however, that any further dis

will not be productive of any good.

Editor of the Times, Sir;
1 was not present at tbe meeting
ftt whiich the question of Mr. Brook-
era going to Roch Hill and the mis
understanding occurred as to his re-
election. but I am frank'to' say tl^at
I gained the impression from subse
quent conversations that Mr. Brooker
was not ohly to stay here during th£
summer but would remain for the m*
aion of 1920-21. - Aside'' from the
references made by Mr. Ivey to this
meeting I concur in his statement
published above and do not recede
from my position that the board
made a mistake in failing to retain
Mr. Brooker as Superintendent a po
sition for which I consider him emi
nently ff.

To the Editor of the Times, Sir:
The school board held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and the whole
matter of the failure to elect Profes
sor Brooker -was gone over fully; par
ticularly that part with reference to
his request to the board for permis
sion to accept a position aa teach*!
of mathematics at the Wfnthrop Sum
mer school. When this request was
made, according to -the writer’s un
derstanding, the statement was made
that the action of the board at that
tltne wouldMetermine whether or not
Mr. Brooker would be elected again,
and he felt that the action taken
which requested that he not accept
the work but would remain in £lor
ence during the summer and super
vise, the construction of the High
School Building, actually was notice
to him that he was elected to servo
for another year.
^ Thefl when at a later day he was
not elected, it was felt that a great
wrong had been done him. Mr
Byooker felt this* very keenly as dh
a great many of his friends of tin
sdhopls. However,' Messrs.- Hicks
Mecfennaghan' and Davis, who were
v present at this meeting state posi
tively that, they heard no reference
.- to anjr obligation of the part of the
1 hoard a$ to the coming year. I was
' exceedingly ckm to hear them say

T HE man who tempers economy with wisdom directs the
expenditure of his money judiciously. He is more concerned
with ultimate values than with mere cheapness of price.
It is to this type of person among motorists that the Pai^e car
most appeals.
We, of the Paige Company, have always taken the view that
unless a car has the qualities essential to comfort, lasting satisfac*
tion and pride of ownership, it would he dear at any price.
So we built the Paige Glenbrook according to our ideas of what a
real motor car should be—a car which would be not only a reliable
vehicle of transportation but also a car of beauty, comfort and power.
