spending several days at the STANDARD
oil plant here while sketching different
parts Of the refinery.

presented his recommends tion and when
informed that it would be uecessar. to
secure permission from The vice presi-
dent at the Chicago office the visitor
appeared rather indignant TO think his

IS necessary in all cases. although the
man engaged in the conversation did
not realize what q notable he was ad-
dressing.
Upon his departure Mr. Penneu left
his card laying on the desk. One Of
the youngest members Of the office
force looked at the card and excitedly
called up the library TO verify his be-
lief that Joseph Pennell was the noted
artist When thus informed that his
theory was correct the news quickly
spread around the office.
Undaunted Artist Pennell was soon
speeding toward Chicago in his big
touring car. and ere long came back
armed with the necessary permission
and started 10 work. He is now treated
with much different attitude than he
was before his Importance was made
