CONROY RETAINS INSURANCE AGENCIES He Will Continue to Represent the Manchester and Caledonian Compenies Here. In the story of the deposition of T. J. Conroy as local manager of the American Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., as published in The Call yesterday it was erroneously stated that Mr. Conroy had 1so been superseded as the local repre- sentative of the Manchester and Caledo- nian companies. The severance of his connectfon with the American Company in no way affects his position as local representative of the Manchester and Caledonian companies, of which he will still retain the Pacific Coast agencies. The new firm of Christensen, | Edwards & Goodwin will represent the American Company only, and not the Manchester and Caledonian, as stated yesterday. TO ARRIVE. | From. | Due.
