"We have orders all the way from Boston to San Francisco in our hotel department, and this branch of hard metal nickel silver hollow ware is rushing. Every department is now behind in filling orders and all are running full time. The September just ended was the biggest one ever had in Chicago, and October has evidently started in to beat the September record", thus said George Wallace, of R. Wallace & Sons Mfg. Co., in an interview on the distribution of silverware.

DIED

CHARLES D. MORRIS, 70 years old, president of the R. Wallace and Sons Manufacturing Company, Wallingford, grandson of the founder of
the concern, died April 29th in the New Haven Hospital where he was recuperating from surgical treatment performed a few days previous. He is
survived by one brother, Frank W. Morris of 144 South Main Street, Wallingford.

Born in Wallingford, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dennis E. Morris, he was educated in the local public schools and graduated from the local
high school, and later from Yale University.

Immediately after graduating from Yale in 1892, he entered the employ of the R. Wallace and Sons Manufacturing Company in Wallingford, where he has been continuously employed during his entire lifetime. Elected a director of the company in 1904, and at various times holding the offices of secretary and treasurer, Mr. Morris then became vice president. After the death of Frank A. Wallace in 1933 he was elected president.

Mr. Morris was president of the Dime Savings Bank and a director of the First National Bank of Wallingford, and a former director of the
Manufacturers Association of Connecticut. He was a member of the First Baptist Church, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Wallingford Historical Society, a former member of the National Guards, a member of the Wallingford Country Club, a former state central committeeman
from the 12th senatorial district for the Republican party.

While his duties at the factory took the major portion of his time, he was never too busy to extend his interest in local civic welfare projects. His favorite diversion was travel both in the United States and abroad. Those who knew him intimately speak of Mr. Morris as a kindly man who spread much happiness along the pathway of life.

Services were held at his home with the Rev. Edward M. Conway, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Wallingford, officiating. Burial was made in
the family lot at In Memoriam Cemetery.
