Creator of Hoople Once Butcher Clerk Af Gene Aiwm hud been u reully first clasR butcher's helper, he might not be a topnotch comic artist today. It was along about 1912 that Gene was working in a meat market in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a good enough worker, at that; but he'd been to art school and liked to draw, so he filled in u lot of time at work by sketching little figures?girls, cows, steamboats and what not?on the long rolls of brown paper in which the shop's meat was wrapped. One day a man connected with a large fashion house came into the market Six pork chops," said the man. "Forty-eight cents," replied Gene, as he handed the meat over. On the brown wrapping paper were some sketches Gene hud made. "Who drew these?" asked the customer. "Oh, I did?just for the fun of it," suid dene. "It'd be even more fun if you got paid for it, wouldn't it?" asked the man. Gene admitted that it would. Ths conversation continued Gene told of bis studies trt art school and of his fc ndness for sketching. The stranger expressed interest, and wound up by offering Gene a job in his fashion art department. 1 his was better than wrapping up link sausages, so Gene took it. He hardly set the world on fire in hi3 rew job, but he learned a lot about drawing, and that's what Counts. In 1914 Gene went down to the office of the Newspaper Enterprise Association, leading newspaper feature service, and grabbed off a job in the art department. Lee Taylor, 09, died in a Fort Worth, Texas, hospital "yesterday-following his being trampled by an infuriated bull. A 9-year-old dog tried to rescue his master, but was unable to do so. Representative Olin D. Johnston, of Spartanburg, candidate for governor in the summer primary, announced Tuesday that the fight against the $65,QOO,0OO road bond issue would be continued. Johnston is quoted as saying "The fight has just begun." Mt. Fisgah Honor Roll.

OThe Coast Line ?r\\/ _ 4 family j ^ I ?g THE Petersburg Railroad, organized 100 years ago, was conceived by -the people of Petersburg, Virginia, as a means of increasing their trade. It was built with funds subscribed oy the citizens and the city of Petersburg, and by the State of Virginia. Its officers and employees were men who lived in Petersburg or the sections along the railroad. Much the same is true of the other railroads that wfere later brought together in the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. By far the larger number were built by local initiative, mostly with local capital, to supply local transportation needs. Their officers were men prominent in local affairs and their employees were drawn from the pick of the substantial people living along their rails. Practically everybody in the sections they served had a direct personal -interest in these railroads because they were owned and run by people whom they knew. Railroad officers not* only knew every employee by-his first name but knew something about each man's family. Every employee knew all the officers. Common interest in their work, a common pride in overcoming obstacles and making a good showing for the Company, bound officers and other employees together. With the growth of the Atlantic Coast Line, men who demonstrated their ability advanced to more responsible jobs, until in turn many of them became officers. Each brought with him that intimate knowledge of the work so essential -X to successful railroad operation. Each was imbued with that loyalty to the common cause that has made the "Coast Line Family" a reality. TJie ever lengthening rails of the Atlantic Coast Line now make impossible the constant contact between all officers and all employees, but the "family" tradition persists as strongly as it ever did' and is the\Coast Line's most valuable asset. Scores of Coast Line employees have never worked for any other employer, Some families * have given three generations of valued workers to the Coast Line organization. Thirty - four Coast Line employees have worked for. the Company or its predecessors for 50 yearSp 1384 have served it 25 years or, longer. Officers and employees?the men who run the Coast Line today?are for the most part from the sections served by Coast Line rails. They know the country and the people; they know the transportation needs of every industry. Many of them own farms or are partners in various enterprises. All have a personal interest in the advancement and growth of the Southeast. Tney and the Atlantic Coast Line are part and parcel of the Southeast; of one blood with the people-that they serve. And as long as the Atlantic Coast Line can attract to its ranks the same type of workers It has been fortunate in having in the past it is confident of its ability to render an increasingly valuable service to the people and the industries of the Southeast. 4 gg| ATLANTIC COAST LI N E The Standard Railroad of the South {This is the fourth of a series of advertisements hj the ^Atlantic Coast jQfne Hail road, commemorating the centennial of its earlieSt constituent company?the ^Petersburg Hail road Company} 1T r i ?- uktMam t.miUdiM
