GOING TO CHICAGO
Advertising Manager of the B. & M, to Have
Charge Of Headquarters
IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE SERVICE
second Promotion within n Year
Comes to Young Man who Has
Developed Special Tai
ent in the Work.

Charles s. Young, advertising agent Of the
B. & NJ. railroad, has been rewarded with
a very substantial promotion to a similar,
but much more important position, that OF
assistant to ]. r. Griffith, general manager
Of the advertising department Of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy system at Chi
cago, which is one of the principal ranches
OF business under the general supervision
Of P. s. Eustis, general passenger director
Of the system. Mr.. YOung's appointment
was announced by General Passenger Agent
Francis, and will take effect between this
and the first Of the year.
The duties confronting Mr.. Young in his
new position will be more extensive than
those OF his present office. He will have
special charge Of all the newspaper and
magazine advertising OF the entire system,
which means that the scope OF his work
will be amplihed very materially.
The position vacated by Mr.. Young will
not be formally filled for the present. Gen
eral Passenger Agent Francis will devote
more of his time to some special parts of
this work and various other parts which
have been looked after here will be shifted
to Mr.. Young at Chicago, so that, it is be-
lieved, the regular ONCE affairs can be
handled by p. P. Fodrea, assistant adver-
Using agent, and the remainder of the
corps. Heretofore Mr.. Francis says this
department in Omaha has done a vast
amount of advertising for the general sys-
tenn and arrangements have been made to
have his work lone in Chicago.
Charles Somers Young came to Omaha
from Philadelphia seven years ago to enter
the employ OF The Bee as a cub" re-
porter. He then knew but one man in
Omaha, a collegemate at Cornell univer-
sity. He was with The Bee three years,
filling various reportorial capacities, but
chiefly that Of railroad reporter, in which
he made a splendid record. His work Ia
connection with the sale and reorganizs-
tion Of the Union Pacific was such as at
tracted general attention. On January 1,
1899, he entered the service OF the B. & NJ,
as assistant to ]. M. Campbell, then adj
vertising manage for the company. Three
years later he was appointed successor to
Mr.. Campbell, who resigned to take q SIM
liar position with the Rock Island. Mr..
Young's work as manager Of the advertise
ing department Of the B. & M. has brought
him many compliments from printers and
advertising experts for its originality,
neatness and effectiveness. His rise in the
Burlington service, too, has been rapid. It
Is not on record that any other clerk has
risen in four years from a position in the
Omaha headquarters to an important place
in the general headquarters of the COM
pany at Chicago. Two promotions within
a year is also a handsome compliment to
q young man from any company.
In speaking Of the change, Mr.. Francis
said; IT regret TO part with Mr.. Young,
but he ia going to a higher place IN the
B~urlington's service, and one where he will
have an immensely greater field for his ac-
~tivities, and a c~orrsspondingly broader
scope. He new has charge Of tho work
west of the Missouri river, but In the fu-
ture hls territory win extend from ocean
to ocean. The Burlington In entering upon
q more extensive newspaper and magazine
advertising campaign, m to carry out the
work as planned a man Of Mr.. Young
special talents IL needed at the head"
