leading railroads. Tyler Commercial
College Gentlemen: Furthur reference
to our conversation Of recent date con
corning shortage Of competent telegra
piers, on account Of so many entering
the Government Signal Corps service
As it is likely that more will Join the
Colors through the selcctive draft, ana
we cannot hope to fill vacancies with
any degree Of certainly with men over
81 years of age, the st. Louis South
western Railway Lines will, as vacan-
cies occur. use competent lady and
young men telegraphers and it would
seem to me an opportune time for the
young men and Young ladies to take up
the study of telegraphv and station a.
counts. The.wages md opportunity for
advancement are very good, ard with
