He's 8 fellow who has a remarkable talent for combining efficiency i'm his work with humor, and you can anticipate both good service and good joke when you do business with Ernie
 He is married and has two sons -confesses his best like is for his home and family.
 Ernest possesses a fondness for the usual sports s'-modestly con- fessing to playing a fair game of golf-likes dancing - "soft and smooth" music, comedy shows and the movies.
 He has likeable, casual manner, and his fellow workers would vouch for his cooperativeness and easy going ways, but watch out, for Ernest's special antipathy is over bearing individuals, and he also dislikes any misinterpretation of words and deeds-probably because of resultant misunderstanding.
 Gildersleeve has been employed in his present work for IA months and thoroughly enjoys 1t and his associates. We think it agrees with him too, and so we wish him "con- tinued success!''
