She worked for G. L. johnson in
the Fair Store for two years and

Shortly after the Red Owl
Grocery was opened in Sank
Centre, Miss O'Brien was employed
as cashier, remaining four years.

January, 1927, and Immediately

Wholesale Grocery Co., on Third

taken over by the National Tea
Co, last November, Miss O'Brien
remained, as an employee of the
new organization.
Miss O'Brien was made manager
of the store several months ago,
following the resignation of G. S.
Bristol.
1t was rather a new departure,
in this city, for lady to be the
manager of a grocery store, and
there were those who predicted a
dire failure. Somebody was mis-
taken, because the National Tea
is today enjoying the very best
business in the stores history in
Sank Centre. If the store did not
make good there would be a change
in management. Since fine bust
ness has been developed the local
manager should be given credit for
this success.
