Many Amusing Incidents Occurred During The Years In Cannon Store

Many annuOnK incidents have taken place in the J. F Cannon Co. store to this county, ami many residents of Greencaatle and intimate friends of the Cannon's and employees of the store have been recalling some of them in the past few weeks. One incident we recall quite vividly was when a close personal friend of Messrs. Cannon took an automobile trip to California and other western points one summer. He was gone one month and on his return, the first place he visited wa-s Cannon’s stole. Prior to his coming John J. Csiinuu had suggested that the employees all act that they were busy aiut pay no attention to the returned traveler. As he entered, lui expected everyone to rush forward and greet him as the long lost brother and no douht tie had soma vivid yarns to n lste about his experiences. To his utter dismay not. u soul even ventured to speak to him and went about their work as usual The friend remained silent a moment or two then saw no one was paying any attention to him and turned and slowly walked from the store. Needless to say everyone there had a big laugh at his expense then and at his return later. It wouldn't do to print what the friend said. Anothei®time we were loafing In the store just prior to the Christmas decorating season. Fred Snively was busiJIy engaged in cleaning the place ready to put up the holiday decorations. He was using a stepladder and talking as he worked. When he started to move the ladder in the midst of his speech making, he caught the top of one of the large plate glass show cases with the end of the ladder ami hroks It Into a thousand pieces Frank Cannon was standing rn-arby and all he did was to just look around. He never said a word. It was not necessary ' •'-rn’e was worse in that case
