When George H.

To- day MT. Daniels is one of t3c best FnoWn and most efficient railway osii- ciaiS in the United States. He i5 tact ful. resourcesul, and discharges all O. he fiut7es of his office like q tra,ned diplomat
 Mir Daniels was born at Hampshire, ill., on December I, 1912, and when 15 years old entered the transportation business as rodman In the engineer- ing corps Of the North Missouri rail rCaG From this he advanced rapidly, u,.til in 1872, when only 30 years oll, l.e became general freight and passen- ger agent Of the Chicago and Pacific galToad.

 Mr. Daniels fitted into his office d. once, and immediately developed a comprehensive grasp of all the minute details Of the business His railroad training had been O. bread nature but in his new place he found demands requiring the treatment of Q diplomat.

He showed great tact in handling all these per picking questions, and in the years of his service has been unf1inchingly loyal to his company, keen to recognize and meet the demands Of the travelling public, and judiciously liberal in treat ing questions affecting in a contrary way his company and the public

He has also undertaken and accomplished many raalcal re- forms, until it is safe to say that tke office is one of the most admirably equipped and best managed in the country, and the road owes much Of it's popularity with the travelling public to the exertions Of the general passenger agent
 The social side Of Mr. Daniels is charming. He has rather quaint personality. and is q delightful com panion and S stanch frlena. ae ls 3 member Of the Lotos club, and for the last five years has been president Of the Quaint club, so3:al organizatio that embraces in it's membership some Of the best known business and profe5- sicnal men of the city. and which is widely known for its odd conceits and curious doings.
