STEEL MAN IS WATCHED
Staff Makes a Presentation to W.R. Gilmore
[Welland Telegraph, 4 July 1916]
On Thursday evening the office staff and department heads of the Canadian Steel Foundries gave a dinner at the New Dexter Hotel in honor of W.R. Gilmore, manager, who has severed his connection with the firm to enter the steel business on his own account in Michigan. The feature of the evening was the presentation to Mr. Gilmore of a gold watch and chain, the gift of the staff. T.M. Strain, in making the presentation, referred in generous terms of appreciation to Mr. Gilmore’s good qualities that enabled him to operate a large industry employing many hands, reach a high degree of efficiency, and leave the job finally without an enemy. His success has been largely due to the fact that he had been able to enlist the thorough co-operation of all members of the staff. L.B. Hatch occupied the chair and addresses were given by G. Varley and others, while the music was supplied by A. Grundy, Jack Kean and George Fordham.
