He is well acquainted with the men who are beginning the manufacture and it gives indication of becoming a wonderful seller and Mr. Shesler is being given a splendid position. His many friends here hope him great success in his new field of labor. Marshal Shesler was first appointed by former mayor, George F. Meyers, succeeding George Mustard. He proved a good official front the start and when Mayor Spitler took office he continued Mr. Shesler as marshal. He has always been on the job and has combined with his thoroughness a tact that is very essential in that office and has made an excellent official. He was absolutely fearless and on one or two occasions with obstreperous subjects he found it necessary to leave no doubt about exercising his authority. As street commissioner, peace officer and general supervisor of the police duties of the city he proved -a valuable man and it will be hard to find another man to handle it a§ diplomatically.
