Another Leon Boy Who Has Made
Good

Every once in while We hear OF
an ola Leon boy who is making goou.
And among them we know OF no
young man who is doing better than
Harry Mayer, of Chicago, son Of
M. Mayer, of this city, who is wool
buyer for the firm of Silberman Bros.
We accidentally learned that at the
close of last years business, the
year closing on May 1st, Harry re-
ceived for his years salary and COM
mission something over $40, 900,
which is not bad for one year S work,
but he earned it, for he is saiu to be
one OF the best judges Of wool in
America. He is now at Billings,
Montana, where he has already con-
tracted for million ana a half
pounds of western wool. And there
was never a young man who left
Leon with more friends, than Harry
Mayer, and it is source of gratitl-
cation to his friends to learn of his
success.
