BOX FACTORY PHILOSOPHY

10 the OcdId bdHHGF.
Here is a job | have wanted to do
for some time but it is job for a real
writer and not one of imagination
either.
have been over much of the world
and for four years have worked in
most of the South and to know peoples
and countries you must do SO, and to
me there is no place like
Irvine.
Don't understand me that | do not
carry in memory with reverence and
respect, my association with the
Southern people everywhere l have
been in the South, for do.
have been outside several times
and am always treated with cracker
hospitality which to me appears to be
the same.
For many years have had no home
and always feel l have gotten home
when I get back to dear old
Why? am a nature loving man and
here we are surrounded with nature
sublime The birds singing and nest
ling in the beautiful trees; at the apex
and junction. of natures breezes from
the waters of the two of the largest
sources and perfulned from passing
through and over natural flowers of
the Eden of the World
Florida
| am reiterating. | want to tell you
of Irvine, my neighborhood.
l batch being so old and cranky
no one can live with me. My butter,
eggs or drink of milk etc., get from
my neighbors and it is seldom that
buy and often receive whole meal
from the hands of my American
brother, wife or other properly author
lied person to do SO, and last and
most piece of pie here for old
"Mr--a call from neighbors's lit
tie child on my passing from my work.
Great God, would rather be so with
the love of the little children of my
neighbors and common laborer than
to be president without their love.
While writing this | hear them
singing in Sunday school, If were
capable of inspiration it would be to
say something worth while. But will
say that they are the Beacon light in
the light of love, to light and brighten
the human soul of life, and may man
and God both bless them, and Her,
that Divinely suffered as only she
knows to produce them
their Mother
Another reason why | love Irvine:
We have electric light and water
system that is so pure and soft almost
as if fallen from the heavens; railroad
and telegraph and telephone; daily
mail, giving us daily knowledge of
affairs Of the nations life through the
daily press.
All of which, gentlemen, | lift my
hat Yes, if our nation is held and
kept American it will be by and
through our regular American press.
You are the salt of Americanism of
today.
/ am reiterating again and taking
up too much space. q just can't help
it,
factory, modern in every way and
management excelled by none both in
dealing with labor and trade; and here
too, my Brother Laborer if looking for
work. especially if you have family.
] would suggest that you look up
Irvine You will be furnished home,
garden, wood and water free. The
company know no more of me writing
this than you do. / do not know If
they want more men, but | do know
that it is a good place to work with
our Sunday and public school, church
and good people.
Our manager also has large farm
and much of as good stuff as the world
affords. He does things When he
goes to your state fairs with stuff he
brings back blue ribbons" He is a
busy man. but never too much so to
overlook word of cheer and help to
his labor He is typical of the Ameri-
can
and the Man.
1t is for these associations and
environments that love and purpose
making my home in
Irvine.
Respectfully.
YOUR AMERICAN BROTHER.
