DR. GEORGE W. MOON RETIRING

Dr. George W. Moon, after forty-six years of veterinary practice, is announcing his retirement from the profession.

After his graduation from the Kansas City Veterinary college in 1913, he practiced at Moline until he entered the army. In 1917 he was commissioned a lieutenant and served on the remount purchasing board out of Kansas City, later taking training with the 338th Field Artillery at Camp Dodge, Iowa. He was sent to France and placed in charge of an evacuation hospital until his return home in June 1919.

He then located in Howard for practice. During his many years of practice, he has been a member of the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association, and three years ago was honored by being granted a life membership for continuous affliation with the association.

In addition to Dr. Moon's veterinary practice and management of the Moon Funeral Home, he has been active in civic organizations. He served two terms as mayor of Howard; commander of the American Legion, and is now serving as a trustee; for many years he was Home Service officer of the American Red Cross; is a Past President of the Chamber of Commerce; at present is serving a second term as coroner of Elk County; is a trustee of the Methodist church, and holds membership in several other organizations.

He expresses his deep appreciation and thanks to his many clients, for their confidence and business.

Dr. and Mrs. Moon are leaving this week end for Denver, Colorado, where they will make an extended visit with Mrs. Moon's sister, later going on to California to visit relatives.
