“Jack” Carpenter To

Retire

|Y|R. J. A. CARPENTER, one of the senior partners of Messrs. W. R. Car penter and Co. Ltd., has announced his intention of retiring from the firm and from active business life at the end of June next.

Thus will end what many people have regarded as a remarkably successful part nership. It was the tireless energy and keen vision of Mr. W. R. Carpenter (now Sir Walter) which brought about the for mation of the phenomenally successful firm during the war years; but it was the remarkable industry and exceptional managerial capacity of Mr. J. A. Carpen ter, which contributed much to the solid structure of the new firm, supplementing and complementing the pioneer work of the founder.

Mr. J. A. Carpenter is very popular in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, where his unassuming, kindly nature has made him hundreds of friends; and they will unite in wishing him much happiness and contentment in the less strenuous life which he has chosen.
