Street Car Patrons Know Him
Long Service With Traction Company Brings
Many Friends.

Christopher G. Ferguson was born
in Indiana in 1875 and enlisted in the
United States army in 1897. During
the Spanish-American War, he fought
with the forces in Cuba and later
served in the Philippines. In 1913 he
came to San Antonio as a soldier and
was transferred from here to Kansas.
In 1906 he received his discharge
and Immediately returned to, San An
tonic to go to work for the Public
Service Company where he has been
employed for nearly eighteen years.
Mr.. Ferguson is an operative of
one of the cars on the Burnet street
and San Pedro line at the present
time. He has handled both ends of
ears on several lines in San Antonio,
having run continuously for six years
on the San Pedro line and five years
on the West End and Alamo Heights
line.
He lives with his family at 1872
Lamar street and spends much of his
spare time raising chickens and work
ing around the house. He is financial
secretary and treasurer of Division
694. Street and Electric Railway
Mems Union. and has to keep rec
ord of the 500 members in San An
tonic.
Like most of the other street car
men, Mr.. Ferguson does not believe
that there is any reason why he
should not have as many friends as
passengers. He has always found
patrons of the company willing to
accord him the same considerate treat
ment he tries to give them.
