      _________________________

      From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, July 25, 19947-

      William Hespe, 73, is believed to have the longest business record of any Leigh business men.

      Hespe and Sons Hardware has been doing business at its present location for 36 years. Prior to that time, Mr. Hespe worked in the carpenter trade for 20 years.

      Leaving Oldnbeugh [sic], Germany with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hespe, at the age of 6, he has spent his life in this community.

      "My boy, Arnold, celebrated the Fourth of July by having a sandwich and a cup of coffee in the house where I was born," Mr. Hespe said and his eyes shone as he told that Arnold is now stationed in the English Zone at Frankfurt and Maine and is employed in the Main office of American Headquarters. Mr. Hespe had four sons in the service, Paul, Arnold, Loren and Harold. He has two other sons, Arthur and Edward and two daughters, Alice and Mrs. Elmer Wurdeman.

      Arthur and Loren are in the hardware business with their father. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
