**********
Dr. Frick is Stanford's pastor. He arrived at First Methodist Church a little over a year ago. Stanford mentions his first Sunday service in this 1920 diary entry: Pastor Frick.
Mark is of course Mark Sawyer, Ruth Closson's beau.
Apparently Stanford is now fairly active in his father's business. Since he doesn't tell us what he does, we can't know the details of his involvement, but no doubt Stillman, in his late sixties, was happy to have Stanford's help.
Here is a picture of the type of egg crate that was in use in 1920. It was designed to ship eggs through the postal system directly to customers. There's no evidence of Stillman's having used the mail to deliver his eggs, but perhaps farmers made use of that method to convey eggs to Stillman. There is more information about early 20th century mailing containers at this website.
