28 YEARS ON ROAD
Traveling Salesman Makes Last
Trip Through Putnam
W. Chauncey Shute 28 years on the
road as a traveling salesman for the
Brown-Durell company of Boston,
went out of Putnam Thursday after
noon on the last leg of his final trip
as a knight of the grip. His travel
ing days are over, not because he is
indigent and in the "gone back"
class—far from it—but because as he
puts it, his wife wants a husband
like other people.
Mr. Shute is still in the live wire
class, and probably will be for many
years. He has been with his house
for 35 years, and after repeatedly
attempting they have finally induced!
him to take a position "inside." He
will take up his new duties the first,
of the year. Mr. Shute is one of the
best known traveling men who have
come out of Boston in the last quar
ter of a century to sell goods to the
southern New England trade- He is
exceptionally equipped with the abil
ity to make and hold friends and sell
goods, and has always been a big
asset to his firm. He has been com
ing into eastern Connecticut so long
that he is a.s well known to the gener
al public as to the people in the dry
goods trade, and it is not too much to
say that all will miss him. Mr.
Shute says that, he isn't going to
break off his friendships down this
way, bnt that once each year he is
going to make a trip over his old
stamping grounds to say a word of
cheer to his friends.—Norwich Bulle
