Mr.. Mcdonald has more than made
good with the people Of Americas as
manager of the express Office by rea-
son of his affable MANNER and his
evident desire to please. So often it
has been true that express company
officials and employees reflected the
public be damned" policy that Ans
CIRCUS warmed up to Mr. Mcdonald
when it found that with him it was
always the public be pleased" There
was general qualification, therefore,
when he was kept as manager after
the government took over the express
lines and consolidated them as the
American Railway Express Company.
MIR. Mcdonald was born near Balti-
more, Maryland, and his parents
moved to that city when he was a
boy so. that the children of the fam
lily could have the school advantages
After completing the high school
there, he entered the service of the
Adams Express Company, and rose to
the position of assistant depot agent
He came South to Atlanta, in July,
!. 05, as solicitor, and was appointed
Ct ief clerk to Superintendent H, NJ
Smith when the latter's office was
moved to Macon. In June, 1916, he
was appoioonted manager of the Am
CIRCUS office, and that place he occu-
pies today.
During his comparatively short res
idence in Americas, Mr. Mcdonald
