1956: Jackson
eudora welty remembers
daddy’s office
lamar life, this year celebrating its fiftieth
birthday, has been a part of my family since
before i was born, my father having come
among the earliest to be with the company in
1906 and remaining with it until his death as
its president in 1931, indeed giving his life to
it; and on wishing it a happy birthday, i do so
out of the privilege—itself happy—of having
grown up with it.
