HE DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE

At McPHIE AND CO.'S.
A similar presentation was made at McPhie and Co.'s office last evening when Corporal Reginald Herbert Verry was bidden good-bye by the staff. Mr. McDougall occupied the chair, and there were also present, Messrs. F. Harrison, Hayes, G. Wilson. A. Callaghan, Falkner, L. and G. Gilbert, B. Miles, Wilkin and the staff generally.
Mr. McDougall, in handing Corporel Verry a wristlet watch, on behalf of the firm, wished him good luck, and a safe trip back. (Applause). Corporal Verry suitably responded. Three hearty cheers were given for him.
