LEE LA FEENEY Manager Texas City Refining Co. Texas City, Texas Dear Professor Musselman: I completed the short combination course in April, 1909, and I at once took a trial position with the Federal Trust Company, St. Louis, Missouri, at $30 per month. The second month I received $75, and at the end of five months I resigned to take a position with the Texas City Refining Company as bookkeeper at $100 a month. I worked for them ten months in that capacity, and September 1st, they made me assistant treasurer and office manager at a salary of $125 a month. I quit stenographic work November 1st, last. However, I find it very convenient in- my work at the desk. I have almost dropped bookkeeping also — my duties being such that all my time is taken up with directing others. I find it very convenient to haye Geni City Busi- ness College students in the officer and I expect always, as we employ help continually,, to. get one of the Gems if possible. Very truly yours, LEE LA FERNEY. On November 26th the college received the following telegram from Mr. La Ferney: We are in need of a first class young man who knows bookkeeping and shorthand. Can you refer or furnish us with one ? Answer by wire. Will pay $75 per month to good man. In response to this message we sent Mr. Vincent Grainger, a combination graduate. Mr. Grainger had been a poor boy and was obliged to earn his board while in school by working during spare hours. To show that he is giving satisfaction, we received a letter from Mr. La Ferney on March 1st, 1911, in which he states Mr. Grainger is giving us very satisfactory service. Mr. La Ferney also states that his own responsibilities have been increased, and that he has been promoted twice since writing the foregoing letter.

Dear Mr. Musselman: Knowing that you ever retain a friendly interest in former students, and in their progress after leaving school, I am writing you privately to tell you some- thing of myself and my progress. After the short time spent in Peoria in stenographic work, I came to St. Louis, and have been associated with the Federal Trust Company for considerably more than a year, beginning as stenographer. At present I am cashier of the company, and am acting as private secretary to the president. My appreciation of the training which I received in your institution is very deep and I can assure you I attrib- ute my progress in the commercial world to the thor- ough instruction received in your school. I trust that the Gem City is prospering. R. A. SCOTT.
