A FAIR CASHIER.
Sarah #. Dick Presides over an Indiana
National Bank.
Huntington Qnd.J Letter

Huntington Qnd.) Letter.
Mrs. Sarah Francis Dick of this city
is a shining example of what woman
can do in the way of business when
she puts her mind in her work and Is
given the opportunity. Mrs. Dick is
the cashier of the First National bank
of this city. She is also director in
that institution and has demonstrated
in every way her ability to fill with
perfect satisfaction these important
functions When she became assistant
cashier she was Miss Sarah McGrew,
the daughter Of the then cashier. That
was in 1873. In 1881 the bank was re-
organized and Miss McGrew became
cashier Her father was promoted to
the presidency. Meanwhile. in 1873,
she had been married to julius Dick,
one of the most Influential merchants
Of Huntington. Mrs. Dick has since
filed the position Of cashier in a man
ner that is entirely satisfactory to the
directory. This bright and enterpris-
Ing woman received her education in
/ the common schools and latCr took a
course In business college M Dayton
l Ohio. She is very quick and accurate
in her accounts, and writes n bold
round hand. In the handling Of coin
and paper money she is expert and
seldom makes a miscount She can
dispose Of a mass Of business with a
dispatch that often puzzles her men
associates. She writes all the notes,
draft. and deposit certificates Of the
bank, counts up the Interest on tho
papers and attends to a lot OF work
that ordinarily requires the attention
of several persons. In one day recent,
ly she handled $4,000 in small ac-
counts, involving COO transactions, lu
2GO minutes. with an average Of 3-
seconds to each transaction. Person
ally, Mrs. Dick IS tall and pretty and
when not at business spends her time
in her luxurious home.
