Mr A. W- Skinner and members of his staff assembled on Friday last to bid farewell to Miss Betty Nobes, who, in view of her coming marriage, has terminated her long association with the business. The foreman, Mr J. Younie, in a neat speech made mention of the fact that although he could claim longer years with the business, Miss Nobes was to be considered the senior member of the staff for she had an unbroken record of service. Miss Nobes, he said, had always been popular with all those employed in the business, and he regretted that some of the permanent staff who were on active service were unable to attend to wish her good fortune and happiness in her new life. Mis Nobes was then presented with a travelling bag.
