GIRL DRIVES WAGON
Finds Delivering and Collecting
Laundry Great Sport.
Miss chiooe Hunter Of Detroit En-
cages in Unusual Occupation for
Women, Because She Likes
Fresh Air.

Detroit, Mich.-Miss Chloe Hunter.
aged 20, bids fair to revolutionize the
laundry business, at least in this city.
This enterprising young miss has
adopted the unusual vocation OF laun-
dry wagon driver with gratifying re-
suits. The success with which she is
meeting. from a financial standpoint,
will doubtless result in her COM
petitors sitting up and taking notice.
The young woman has increased
her firms business fully % per cent.
in the time she has been working In
this unique position.
Miss Hunter formerly was employed
in the Office of coat and apron sup
ply company as clerk. The calling
was not agreeable to her health and
she longed for a chance to do more
open-air work The chance came when
]. ]. Callahan, proprietor of the estaD-
lishment, was taken sick and forced
to leave the city. This resulted in
Miss Hunter being assigned the duty
of keeping up the business herself.
The situation was problem at
first, but Miss Hunters ingenuity
overcame all obstacles in short time.
She fired the regular driver OF the
firms single wagon, hired another
girl as clerk and donned the money
satchel herself, starting out on the
wagon to canvass for new business.
Her plan was success from the first.
81 am what you might call a fresh
air fend," said Miss Hunter, in ex-
planning her entrance into the new
field of work. Il am not as healthy
as I would like to be and always
wanted to get outside work for that
reason. Driving the laundry wagon is
Just the thing. 1t is easy work and Is
doing me much good physically.
do 1 think 1 am getting better re
suits than did our former drivers!
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1910-02-05

Well, l should say so. The district l
cover is the same. or perhaps a lit
tie larger, than that covered by the
men drivers, and since took hold Of
1t / venture to say business has in
creased at a rate of % per cent.
don't think there is anything so I'M
usual about my new line of business.
Men with whom come in contact pat
me on the back and compliment me
on my pluck and all that. but l do
not know or care what the women
think.
ANY girl who wants outside work
should try driving laundry wagon.
1t certainly is great sport. All it re-
quires is a little nerve and ability to
return the stares of gawks who don't
know any better. 1t does not bother
me how much people cape at me.
They will get used to seeing me
around the city pretty soon. guess.
81 do not have any trouble with my
horse. 1t is gentle and / am a eau
tious driver. When l am through
with my route in the evenings / take
him to livery stable. where he is
cared for.
when went into the business
Just knew that I'would get some pub
iicity out of It, My friends tried tc
scare me out of the idea, but do not
care now that have got used to it."
Miss Hunter purposes to continue
at her work all through the winter
Her hands are protected by pair Of
heavy gauntlet gloves, while a heavy
sweater coat, thick skirt and heav,
tan shoes baffle the most chillin,

HIS VISIT MOST oPP0RTuNE
Another Days Delay and the Result
Would Have Been Unfortunate
For the Physician.

A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trifie made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called imme-
diately.
The doctor was a skillful man, and
consequently had a large practice. 1t
was very disagreeable to him to be 30
often called away from his other cases
for nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see
this. One day the lady observed red
spot on her hand, and at once sent
for the doctor. He came, looked at
her hand, and said:
You did well to send for me early. :
The lady looked alarmed and asked:
''Is it dangerous, then?"
Certainly not" replied the doctor
Tomorrow the spot would have dis
appeared. and 1 should have lost my
fee for this visit"
