field) Gillespie (q. v.). In 1903 Schuyler
W. Gillespie graduated from the Stam-
ford High School, and immediately there-
after entered the service of the firm of
Gillespie Brothers. He acquired a thorough
knowledge of the art of printing,
and also developed a full measure of the
business ability characteristic of his fam-
ily. Soon after his father's death he assumed
charge of the mechanical end of
the business, including the printing of
the paper as well as the job printing

the fullest and most vigilant attention as

Since identifying himself with the firm

on and extend the work of its predecessor.
