President Watson J. Miller Honored by his Employes

Shelton, Conn., Dec. 29. — At the close of the Christmas festivities at the Derby Silver Co.’s factory mentioned in last week’s Circular, 750 people being present, an elegant gift, a tribute of the hearty esteem felt for President Miller and his wife, was presented to them. It was the gift of all the employes of the mill and the foremen of the different departments, Charles Scranton being spokesman. It was a beautiful cabinet costing $200. Mrs. Miller thanked the donors in simple phrases, and Mr. Miller expressed his thanks in terms that evidently came from the heart. Among other things he said :

“I wore an apron a quarter of a century ago alongside of Mr. Scranton, and am therefore entitled to call him shopmate, and as he represents you, I call you all fellow shopmates. I am prouder of the name mechanic than I would be of that of millionaire, for the latter may be inherited without an effort on the part of the bearer, while the former means effort of brain and muscle, and can only be acquired by earnest effort. I thank you from my heart for this beautiful gift, which in itself displays the taste and skill of you all.”
