Vice Presid mt of c. A.
& C. Railroad Co.
Is TO Make H Hoadquarters
In Akron.
One of the Most Capable Men
In the Country.
Rose From Carpenter To His Present
Position.

The appointment of John f. Miller,
as vice president of the 9. A. & G.
Railway Company, has attracted con-
siderable attention the country over.
Locally the most important feature
of the affair is the fact that Mr.. Mil
lers headquarters will be in this city.
This will result in an increase of the
Office force in Akron and will bring
much business here that would other
wise go somewhere else.
Mr.. Miller Is known as one of the
most capable men in America and no"
table example of the fruits Of the mer-
it system so long in vogue with the
great corporations Of which he has
been an employe nearly half n cen
fury. The 30 years experience Of this
man In railroad service is not to go for
naught, even If he is 20 years of age
and retired from general superintend
ency on pension.
Although having reached the allot-
ted age Of man, three score and ten,
Mr.. Miller Is remarkably young man
for his years, hale and hearty, appear
ing at least ten years younger, with
keen eyes and sprightly step. He is
fond of young people and their COM
pany, which is thought to account in
way for his own youthful disposition.
The friends of this gallant old man are
numbered by those who know him.
For the last 10 years he has had
headquarters at Columbus, but never
gave up Richmond, Ind, as his home.
where he owns "A magnificent suburban
residence. Mr.. Miller is lover of
fine horses and always keeps team or
two about him. And he also takes
great pride in the private ear No. 3s,
which has been at his service for a
number of years. 1t was this car that
William Mckinley travelled in to Wash
ington TO be inaugurated president.
Other noted personages have have
been the guests of Mr.. Miller in this
car.
The life of this ex-general superin-
tendent is an interesting one. Born
at the close of the third decade Of last
century, entering railroad service the
fifth and closing one career at the end
of the tenth decade Of the century, to
take up another in II new century being
