WILLIAM M. PHILLIPS.
    William M. Phillips, district manager for the Morris Packing Company of
Kansas City, Missouri, with headquarters at Fort Smith, where he controls
extensive and important interests, at the same time maintaining his residence in
Hartford, Arkansas, was born in Auburn, this state, on the 24th of July, 1894,
and is a son of W. E. and Louise Ella (Richmond) Phillips. He acquired his early
education in the schools of Fort Smith and of Little Rock and devoted two years
to the study of medicine in the University of Arkansas but afterward abandoned
his plan of becoming a physician and turned his attention in other directions.
He became auditor for the Central Coal & Coke Company and was filling that
position when in February, 1918, he enlisted for service in the World war and
went to Camp Pike, where he was commissioned a second lieutenant and made
bayonet instructor. He was honorably discharged on December 29.

    When Mr. Phillips again took up civilian activity he became a salesman for
the Morris Packing Company of Kansas City, Missouri, and made so creditable a
record in that connection that he was promoted to the more responsible position
of district sales manager and is now acting in that capacity, controlling
important interests in his present position and displaying those business
qualities which ultimately win success—the qualities of determination,
perseverance and sound judgment.
