Traveiing Salesmen.

Wedding Festivities. All of the women em- ployees here at the company honored Arlene Coate with a bridal shower at noon on Novem- -- ber ?. Since we had only the half-hour lunch period, Arlene spent the whole time opening gifts and didnPt get anything to eat; however, she did find out about several modern kitchen gadgets that she and many of the rest of us had never seen or heard of before. She was married November 15, and is now back at work using the name Mrs. Ronald Lee. The wedding was attended by about 225 people including eighteen of us from Hallikainen I& struments. Everyone agreed that it was a beautiful ceremony. The newlyweds went to the Monterey peninsula for their wedding trip.
