Over in England before this war

agent had not thought of that, but the
idea appealed to him, and Scott got
the job. He made such good use Of
its opportunities that in the course Of
time he became the expert on freight
rates of the Cleveland chamber of
commerce. He became various other
things, too, in organizing and manufac-
turing. but this is not biographical

that his qualifications were sufficiently
