JOHN A. WESER was married on
June 6th to Miss Elise Luderitz, at No.
435 West 45th street, by the Rev. Dr. Sanford.
The wedding breakfast was served by the re-
nowned caterer, Sherry. Their bridal tour will
include the principal cities of Canada, including
Montreal, and as far West as Saginaw,

come a benedict, but John did not take the
boys into his confidence. The wedding was
a very quiet affair, only a few guests outside of
the immediate family being present. Congratu-
lations to Mr. and Mrs. John A. Weser.
