After forty-four years of continuous active association with the well known firm of The Rogers Hardware Com- pany, Ltd., of which he was President for over seventeen years, Mr. George J. Rogers has sold out his interest in the firm.

The condition of his health has necessitated his retirement and com- plete rest from the strenuous duties connected with the ma. agenle n. of this extensive business which made rapid strides under hisgoapable direction.

Though naturally he feels a regret at severing his connection with the firm for whose advancemexft he gave o1’. his best for so many years, never- theless it is a source of satisfaction to him to know that the business is still to remain in the hands of the Rogers family, his brother Benjamin Rogers being the president and general manager of the company which has taken it over.

Over Hail a Century Old.

Mr. George J. Rogers, on assuming the ownership, fully realized that there was the business tradition of the fam- ily to maintain, and that he was al the head of a flourishing commercin‘ organisation which had fifty-foul years of enterprising endeavor behind it, and had grown to be one of thc most extensive of its kind in the Mari- time Provinces.

On Nnvemberist, 1911. the Company was re-organized with Mr. George J. Rogers, President, and virtually owner.

The new Company resolved not only to maintain the high standing reached by the firm. in the past, but to ad- vance _ to _ still I greater heights of achievement .

"Forwardmwasthelr motto and they have lived-up to it, in a most gratify- ing measure.

Year by year there has been an in- crease in sales, and the introduction of new lines to meet demands of chang- ing conditions in ~the province and of an ever widening. circle. of. customers.

Moreover, morenccorrlmodatlon was necessary to care for the rapidly ex- panding buslness. s

A large addition was built to the present building on Queen Street, also two large, warehouses _in_ the rear, each oi’ them 14o feet long.

Mr. Géorge".7. ‘Rogers also bought from Mrs. ‘B. W: Dodd-the corner store which for a number of years had been occupied by hex-husband, the late S. W.

Dodd as a druggist and subsequently by Mr. J. G. Jamieson.

As all indication of the changes in the requirements of our people, one article, ccmrnl. may be mentioned. When the company; was organized. there were only n few barrels of ce- ment sold yearly.

The Company's turnover amounts to R WW "Wile Sum, and they carry on an extensive wholesale as well as a retail business, their goods being sold throughout the Maritime Provinces
