CASE OF PIPES FOR THOS. W. BELL
Friends Give a Farewell Dinner In His Honor
[Welland Telegraph, 4 September 1917]
Thirty-five or forty friends of Thos. W. Bell gave a dinner on Thursday evening in his honor. The affair was a mark of appreciation from a number of close associates in business and socially in view of his departure from Welland for Pittsburg, where he has taken an important position with a large independent pipe mill. In his four years residence in Welland, Mr. Bell has won a place for himself in the affections of many and he is very highly appreciated for countless good qualities. The feature of the dinner was a presentation made to him of a handsome pipe and three valuable pipes. There were many brief and bright little speeches in which the life and works of the guest of honor were given due recognition, and this note was sounded by each one that Mr. Bell had made himself in every respect a good Wellander and that he was to be sorely missed in the social sphere and in the activities with which he had been identified. Among those present were:-W.G. Somerville, Reeve Best, B.L. Booth, C.R. Hagen, Gordon P. Somerville, Mr. Ogg of the Guelph plant of the Page-Hersey Co., Bert Muckler, Mr. Steinson, J.F. Thorpe, Chief Laing, L.B. Duff, Hayward Robinson, Harry Somerville, A.J.J. Brennan, Charles Collins, J.C. McVicar, Dr. McBride, George T.T. Sawle, L.B. Spencer, Roy Fries, Jay Diffin, Dr. Godwin.
