Forty-Eight Years for One Company.

One OF the greatest examples of
excellent service is Sumner Ward
who on Saturday had been employed
IS years for the Maine Central Rail-
road company. Mr. Ward is now bag
gage master at this station. He arises
each morning at o'clock and is at his
duties by o'clock. He has done this
for about 10 years, since the 5 A. NJ.
train commenced TO leave here.
Mr.. Ward began his services for this
company as brakeman between here
and Portland soon after leaving the
war. After a few years he became
freight agent here and two years
later held similar position in Gardi-
ner. He has been baggage master
here for about % years. Mr. Ward
has recently returned from hunting
trip and brought a deer with him.
This appears to be one of his char
acteristics, for when he goes hunting,
shooting a deer is almost sure to fol-
low with him Since he began his
work he has never had to lay off on
account of sickness.
