MAX HUMFREY WILL GO EAST; IS PROMOTION Local Man Appointed Man- ager of Chicago Divi- sion for Hills Bros. R A A Yt s Selected by Hills Bros. to be manager of the Chicago Di which that company will open up , on June 1, mext, A. A “Max” Humfrey, who arrived Tuesday is here winding up his business af- fairs nd preparing to move. H: has represented the company B Alaska for the past nine yea Pboosting his coffee sales figures Jast year to 400000 pounds, con sidered by coffee men to be a 1¢- markable record for a territory s sparsely populated. Mr. Humfrey will be succeeded here by Joe Meherin, who not only takes over the famous “red can” coffee line but other linas handled by the former. Mr. Hum- frey will remain here until next Tuesday, leaving for San Fran- cisco to prepare to take up his new position. Regrets to Leave Coming to Treadwell in 1908, Mr. Humfrey has been in Alaska ‘continuously for the 20 years since. The first 11 years of hls residence was entirely in Souti- eastern Alaska and largely in Ju. neau. He was connected with the Treadwell Company for one year, assistant agent here for the old Pacific Steamship Company for a similar periof, then became associated with the late Henry e Shattuck, going with him into tie Alaska Supply Company in whicl he actively participated until the World War. During the war he was connected with the Spruce Production Division of the Army and was superintendent of a saw- mill at Cralg in charge of pro duction of airplane spruce. In 1919 he secured the Hills Bros account for Alaska, adding others immediately and since then hay covered the entire Territory an nually, making his headquarters here. “My one deep regret in accept- . Ing the new position is the fact at it necessitates my leaving aska, severing connections and fedtving friends of 20 vears' stand- g,” Mr. Humfrey said. “But the .opportunity was too big to be passed up. The new Chicago divi- gion will serve five States with a population of 20,000,000 peopls, { making it the largest of amy of mpany's divisions. Whiie " ft is virgin ground for Hills Bros., 4t offers a chance for service to the firm and for advancement to myself that cannot be neglected.” A Selected From Many .
