FAREWELL TRIBUTE TO SOLDIER
Friends of J. Arthur Coogan of Vim 
Motor Company, Tender Reception

J. Arthur Coogan, assistant superintendent of the Vim Motorcar
Company, will leave today for Fort Slocum, N. Y. He was tendered a 
farewell reception on Saturday night at his home, 816 North Forty-
fifth street, by his friends and business associates.

Coogan is only twenty-three years old and is the son of James F.
Coogan, chief detective of Gimbel Brothers, and nephew of Joseph
Coogan, a city detective.  He enlisted in the quartermaster's
department on November 7.

By way of showing their appreciation of his patriotism, the young
soldier's brothers presented to him a complete army outfit.  Coogan
was born in West Philadelphia and attended Our Mother of Sorrows'
School.
