MORRIS CLINTON BASTIAN, treasurer of the Arbogast & Bastian Company, was born June 21, 1859. His early education was limited to attendance at the public schools of his native neighborhood during the winter months, the remainder of the year being devoted to assisting with the work on the home farm and working in the ore beds. At the age of seventeen years he attended the State Normal School at Millers- ville, for a year. After returning home, he again aided his father in the cultivation of the farm, and remained with his parents until he was almost twenty-five years old. He then estab- lished a general store at Allentown, in 1885, which he conducted successfully for two years. In 1887 he became associated with Wilson Arbo- gast in instituting the firm of Arbogast & Bas. tian, and bore a full share in the labors and re- sponsibilities of bringing its business to its pres- ent high prestige. At the incorporation of the Arbogast & Bastian Company in 1902, he was called to the position which he now occupies, that of treasurer, and in which he has displayed the qualities of a master financier. As in the case of him who has been his partner from the incep- tion of their great enterprise, his success has been attained through no adventitious circumstances, but is purely the logical reward of persistent and well directed effort. Mr. Bastian is highly regarded in the community for his personal ex- cellencies of character as well as for his com- mercial value to the city. He is a Republican in politics; and socially he is a high degree Free Mason, having membership in Barger Lodge,
