In the employee OF the Purity Oats
company at Keolllk, and recently the
traffic manager for the company here
went to Davenport this morning
where he becomes the assistant man
ager OF the Davenport Office of the
Purity Oats company. Mr. McGra.h's
promotion is deserved one. He has
worked his way to the top in tht
company, starting In as an Office boy
and working through to his splendid

grit and personality.
Mr.. McGrath began work with the
Purity Oats company here on the
Monday after he left school, and has
been continuously in their employo
except for the period when he was
IN service during the war. He has
been with the company altogether
seven years. During the time he was
in service, his place was kept open
for him.
He worked up from the lowest
position in the office, one of the Off.

first job was that Of office boy, and
he has filed the places that have led

1t is both interesting and worthy Of
comment that Mr. McGrath will be

the Davenport plant. He is Arthur
j. Weber, who likewise has worked
up to his present position with the
company. He was made manager Of
the Davenport plant December 1.
