,bww-,,, ml THE 01210113 Eff 8 I Well, well, I never thought that our friend Mr. Dage would give up school teaching, but just listen to this: Dear Friends: - As going west was my greatest ambition, I started out in a 1914 Ford car. The roads being so rough and I being bumped around quite a bit, it gave me an inspiration. So when I arrived in the city of Spokane, Wash- ington, I erected a factory for the purpose of making bed snaps for holding the bed clothes on the bed.. I Invented the snaps about ten years ago and am now hireing about 50,000 men. As the call is so great for them, I am planning on enlarging my factory within a year now. If you are ever wanting for a job, just come over and I will give you work. Your old teacher, , Mr. Dage. Well, Mr. Dage, I'm not quite so surprised at vour occupation after all. I heard that you should have had some snaps on your bed while staying at Mrs. McDonalds. Why, look at here, we have a letter from Clarence Braatz. Why, and here he comes walking in the studio door. Well, we will read his letter and see what he has to say anyway. Dear Friends:- As to my occupation, I am operating a dog and cat hospital over near Coldwater. I began my occupation about two years after graduating from Quincy High School. I have about one hundred dogs and fifty cats under my care at the present time. I am planning on enlarging my hospital in the near future, as my business is growing so rapidly. If you have any sick dogs or cats, bring them over. Your classmate, Clarence Braatz. We wish you good luck, Clarence. Well, as our friend Mr. Braatz is with us this afternoon, I will turn the microphone over to him as I think probably he would be delighted to talk from our station. Maybe he has some letters from some of our old classmates, so I will let him continue with our program this afternoon. Well, friends, I am sure glad to have the privilege of speaking to you this aftemoon, and I sure have some letters from our old classmates, which I will now read. Here is one from Detroit, Michigan, dated June 9, 1942. Dear classmates:- I received your letter about a week ago and was sure glad to get it. I have gone into partnership with Henry Ford. He makes new Fords and I am a dealer in second hand cars. I sure hope you success in your new station. - Your old classmate, Chester Lampman. Well, Cher, we wish you good luck in the life you have chosen. Well, friends, look what we have here, a letter from the Strongheart Dog Kennel, dated June 8, 1942. Dear friends:- In regard to your letter, I will try to answer your question, although I really have little time to write. You see, when I left school I bought a German Police Dog from Strongheart Kennel. I trained him so well that I was hired to train the dogs here for the movies. Enclosed find a picture of myself and Al. I named this dog in honor of Al because he is always up to his old tricks. A classmate, Mildred Lucas. Well, Mildred, I sure wish you happiness. I don't think you have chosen such a bad life, I would not mind being in your place. Here is another letter from Detroit, dated June 8, 1942. In the left hand corner it tells who it is from. It's from Chester Lampman and Co., Dealers in second hand cars. Detroit. Here goes. Dear Clarence:- We received your letter and was sure glad to get it. We thought we would answer together. You see when Chester Lampman went into business dealing in second hand cars, I was appointed his private stenogmpher and Beatrice Bell was appointed his private secretary. This life sure is great. Your old classmates, Alma Keeler. Beatrice Bell ' ilvf luii '
