One of "a Trained.
In training for the promotion of a
refrigerator being made here, the for
mer Army officer was just one of "a
young men-all college graduates
brought here to learn all about the
device, and later to enter the sales
field.
Wood has been living at a boarding
house not far from the manufactur-
ing district, and, according to his land
lady, Mrs. Leon Davis, che certainly Is
home boy. He seldom goes out at
night, and when he does it is not for
long, When told that her boarder
was the former stock player and son
of the famous general Mrs. Davis de-
clared, Can it really be true? But l
might have known he was somebody
like that, for he certainly is clever"
Young Wood believes, and he said it
himself, that an honest days manual
labor gives any man the right to look
the world in the eye and scorn those
who object to overalls and blue shirts.
