Holyoke Institutions, among whom we count ourselves, take pride in the observ- ance of our city's Semi-Centennial.
We are grateful for the firm foundation and the splendid traditions upon which this city has been builded. It has enabled us to build our business which has served Holyoke for more than half of her existence as a city. We mean that it shall serve better in the future years and better deserve to be a Hol- yoke Institution.

In May 1870, three years before Holyoke became a city, William B. Whiting founded the well known coal company which bears his name. Associated with him was his son Edward G. Whiting, and today the business is conducted by Philip C. Whiting, grand- son of the founder.
William B. Whiting died in May 1902, at the age of 85, and during all his career his business policy was to sell the best coal to be had, and to give prompt and efficient service. He was known throughout the city for his honesty and integrity. This same policy has ever since been followed strictly by his son and grandson and is responsible for the large business which the company enjoys today.
For distribution some horses are still used as in the early days of this company, but a fleet of motor trucks is now the main reliance for prompt delivery. The company has equipment for delivering from 100 to 125 tons of coal per day.
From a small beginning the business has grown year by year until now it has reached a total of about 30,000 tons annually.
A modern and efficient coal pocket of 4000 tons capacity helps greatly to tide over the difficulties that beset the trade between the mine and the householder's cellar.

HADLEY FALLS
TRUST COMPANY HOLYOKE MASS.
Seventy-Two Years of Honorable Service
T The history of the Hadley Falls Trust Company is that of two long-established and influ- ential Holyoke banking institutions-the HadleyFalls National and the Home National. The former was first established under a State charter in 1851 (the year following Holyoke's or- ganization as a town), with banking quarters on the present site of the Hotel Hamilton build- ing, and had as its first personnel, C. P. Rising, President; J. R. Warrener, Cashier; John Ross, N. D. Perry, Cyrus Frink, Joel Miller, R. G. Marsh, A. D. Chapin, William Melcher, Whiting Street and Chester Crafts, Directors. In 1865 it was reorganized under a Federal charter with C. W. Ranlet as President and H. P. Terry as Cashier.
T The Home National-a much younger, though equally successful bank-was organized in 1884, with J. H. Newton, President; E. L. Munn, Cashier; F. F. Partridge (who later became its President ) as First Teller ; and E. C. Rogers, Anderson Allen, Josephus Crafts, J. H. New- ton, D. H. Newton, J. C. Newton, Moses Newton, E. L. Munn, John Delaney, James Ramage, G. A. Clark, J. S. Webber, Frederick Taylor, Herman Stursberg, Jr. and G. W. Millar as Directors.
T In 1917 these two banks merged their respective interests and have since continued business under the name of the Hadley Falls Trust Company. Its present Officers and Directors are :
IRVING S. PULCIFER, Treasurer & Trust Officer
JOSEPH A. SKINNER, President.

Progress Plus Service
T has been our privilege since the establishment of this store in 1883 to serve thousands of builders, gardeners and housewives with the necessary tools that have enabled them to do better, and more effi- cient work. Our sporting goods have also added to the joys and re- laxation of many.
The experience we have gained in these past forty years of develop- ment, plus the knowledge of our seventeen salespeople, is at all times placed at your disposal.
It is a long journey between early training and president of a firm, yet from a modest beginning as clerk, Mr. A. J. Osborne has developed the present successful establishment of the Osborne Hardware Company, which stands as a monument of what can be built upon the policy of rendering service to patrons, as well as maintaining at all times a high standard of quality in all of its merchandise.
Entering as a clerk, in the employ of Mr. Gil- bert E. Russell in the Spring of 1883, and proving himself to be indispensible, A. J. Osborne was, six years later, taken into the firm as partner to Mr. Russell; assuming full charge of the store after Mr. Russell's death in January 1907.
Marked developments began to take place short- ly after April 1917, when Mr. Osborne obtained full control. The Kitchenware Department, pre- viously started, was enlarged and remodelled; the line of utensils and dishes were greatly augmented and a competent man placed in charge.
In line with his ambition to broaden and serve a complete stock of sporting goods were added, --- later on accepting the Winchester Agency and be- coming one of the numerous Winchester stores.
At this period in 1919, the business was in- corporated. Mr. Osborne carefully selected the following people as being the calibre to carry on
the work that had been so well started:
A. J. Osborne, Pres. and Treas. E. L. Dragon, Vice President Anne Sinclair, Ass't. Treasurer R. L. Streeter, Clerk George R. Osborne, Director
Since the incorporation of the firm, the various departments have been placed in charge of men whose previous experience has well qualified them for the positions; Mr. Dragon taking charge of the Builders' Hardware, Paints, etc. Mr. Streeter heading the Department for Tools, Seeds, Agricultural Tools and Specialties; George R. Osborne just returning from the Winchester Factories, was placed in charge of the Sporting Goods, Cutlery, Bath Room Fittings and some of the Specialties. Miss Sinclair, who for many years has been connected with the firm, efficiently manages the office work of the organ- ization.
The Osborne Hardware Company occupies the entire building at 245 High Street, consisting of five floors and basement, as well as a large store- house at 12 Suffolk Street. Two trucks are con- stantly employed for hauling freight and making deliveries in order to insure prompt attention to all patrons.

Church Seats sani~white
T HE Church Sani-White Toilet Seat is the product of 25 years of study and development. Its inception was modest and at a time when a white seat was prac- tically unheard of due to two obvious reasons; first and foremost, no seat had ever been produced that could perm- anently retain its pure whiteness, and sec- ondly, the modern ideals of sanitation were in their infancy.
The pioneers of the Church Sani-White seat conceived the idea that a toilet seat was some- thing more than a mere covering for a bowl-it was the one object in a bathroom above all that needed refinement-and from this idea was built the seat that is today recognized by the plumbing trade as the highest grade sanitary product that can be made for its purpose.
Its white covering is not an enamel or paint, but consists of a pure glistening white sheath- ing, put on in sheet form, and welded by steam pressure until a non-absorbant surface is pro- duced that will retain its sanitary whiteness forever and cannot discolor, crack or chip.
The Church Company had its beginning in a small shop employing six men with an average production of fifteen to twenty seats per day. It was a big problem even to sell this amount at first, for people had not the desire nor inclin- ation to purchase a toilet seat of such high quality-their sanitary ideals were in the early, slow stages of development.
Gradually the desire for better bathroom fix- tures manifested itself and with it came a de- mand for better seats. The facilities and or- ganization of the company expanded to meet the
ever increasing demand and in 1920 it became necessary to double the size of its Holyoke plant. In the latter part of 1920 the company broke ground for a woodworking factory in Brattleboro, Vermont which was completed, and operating by the Fall of that year. The Church factories today employ over 300 employees with a cap- acity daily production of 1,500 seats.
The sales organization was developed to its present size since 1921 and consists of nineteen direct factory branches extending from coast to coast. The company's products are sold through plumbing trade channels and eventually reach the consumer through the plumber. Architects, jobbers, builders, plumb- esr and owners are solocited regularly in all sections of the United States and Canada.
The rapid increase in the company's business is attributable largely to its sales policies, ad- vertising, and strict maintenance of the quality of its product.
Church Sani-White Seat advertisements besides being seen in all trade publications also reach the houseowner through the national mediums of such papers as The Literary Digest, House & Garden, Country Life In America, Home Beauti- ful, and others.
The C. F. Church Mfg. Co. was incorporated in 1898 with Mr. Charles F. Church as Presi- dent and Mr. George W. Collins, Treas- urer. Mr. Church severed his connection with the company in 1904. The Company was pur- chased by its present management in 1919. The officers are: President, Charles H. Keith. Greenfield, Mass .; Vice-President, Fred F. Par- tridge, Holyoke, Mass .; Treasurer and General Manager, Otto Kolstad, Holyoke, Mass .; Secre- tary, Richard A. Witherell, Springfield, Mass.

Dietz Bakery Commercial Street, Holyoke.

How Richard Dietz's Little Holyoke Bakery Has Grown Into a Business of National Importance
Holyoke is full of fine stories of the growth of big business from small beginnings. Am- bition, hard work and honesty are back of them all, and no story is finer than that of Dietz Bakery. Richard Dietz opened his little store in 1883, and in the good old fash- ioned way Mrs. Dietz worked with him. Their bright store with its cordial greeting, the wholesome, fragrant bread, and the always welcomed bread wagon are still recalled with
keen pleasure throughout all this region.
Little by little, then faster and faster, Dietz bread found its way into the homes. Good housewives began to give up the work of home baking. Mr. Dietz stuck resolutely to high quality and good service, and today the company's handsome bakery, with its sep- arate equally fine plant for making Dietz French Ice Cream, is one of the show places of the city.
Then Came a Great Step Ahead in the Combination of the Famous "Six Bakers "
Nothing succeeds like success, and nothing attracts able men like the success of another able man. The combination of six successful bakers came about as naturally as the meet- ing of six friends, and today Dietz Bakery is one of the seven modern plants in a nationally noted company with bakeries in Holyoke, Springfield, Fitchburg, Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New Haven, and with a new plant just building in Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Fifty million loaves a year is their present output.
Such, in a brief sketch, is the history of the little bakery begun here 40 years ago, by Richard Dietz, with no capital except that best of all capital; skill, industry, and a determination to win out.
