THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AT JOB
Fritz schafcr Went Into simpsons
Carriage shop soon After
the war

Thrty-fve years in the service Of one EN-
ployer\is the record OF Fritz Schafer, with
the firm of A. J. Simpson & Son, 1907 Dodge
street.
1t was soon after The civil war that Fritz
Schafer, then a boy In his teens" APP
peared at the establishment of Mr.. Simpson
and secured work. He has been there ever
since. He has made, the building his home,
for he never married, and cot In one of
the rooms of the big building is the only
home he has known
Mr.. Schafer is an expert worker in MS
line He is a carriage blacksmith. He has
worked at this business all his life. He
is a most conscientious workman. He takes
as great interest in the establishment as his
employer He does his work well by day
and at night, though he might go else
where II he wished. he prefers to stay In
the building.
Mr. schafer is a man of retiring manner
and at times he is gruff. But those who
know him tell of the kind heart that is
his Many kind act which he has done
has come to light when he thought that he
had efIectually hidden it.
He differs with most men in that he has
refused promotion More than once his en-
ployer has offered him a foremanship in the
establishment. but schafer preferred to stay
at his own work bench and do only his
own work
Fishing is one of the few pleasures which
he takes. In il he finds a panacea for his
cares. When anything goes wrong. he
goes away and spends half dag fishing
and comes BACK at rights with the world.
Winter and summer alike, he does this
MIR. Schafer is still young man and his
hair is not even gray. He is deeply at
tached to his employer and from all APP
pearances he may spend another thirty-five
years In the same establishment.
