berg Brothers Insurance Agency.

ried thelcormer Edith Brown. They
reside at 333 Covington.

efforts to any worthy cause brought
to his attention, and in . turn his
community has gratefully bestowed
upon him many coveted honors.

Allied Jewish Campaign, he is a
past president of Franklin Hills
Country Club and Standard City
Club. He is at present serving on

pital.
