Dear Sir:

This is to certify that Joseph Rance has been in my employ for eighteen months. He is a most willing and able worker, honest, steady, and faithful. I regret that I was obliged to let him go from my employ. I feel very safe in highly recommending him to you.

Very truly yours, George Bunce.

_Recommendation for a special position_

HARCOURT MANUFACTURING CO.

29 BOYLSTON STREET BOSTON, Ma.s.s.

October 10, 1921.

Mr. Gordon Edwards, 48 Tremont Street, Boston, Ma.s.s.

Dear Mr. Edwards:

At luncheon last Wednesday you mentioned that you were in need of another advertising writer. If the position is still open, I should like to recommend Mr. Bruce Walker.

When I first met Mr. Walker he was with Bellamy, Sears & Co., Boston, and was doing most of their newspaper advertising. His work was so good that I offered him a position as advertising writer with us. He accepted, with the approval of Bellamy Sears & Co., and has been with me for the last three years. He has written for us some of the best drawing copy that we ever used, and his work has been satisfactory in every way. He is original and modern in his advertising ideas, and knows how to express them forcefully but without exaggeration. His English is perfect.

I shall greatly regret losing Mr. Walker, but I cannot advance him above his present position, and I agree with him that he is equal to a bigger position than he has here. I hope you can give him the opportunity that he seeks. If you will see him personally, you will oblige both him and me.

Very sincerely yours, B. A. Yeomans.

_Thanks for recommendation_

29 Kelley Ave., Cleveland, O., October 4, 1923.

Mr. John Saunders, Jones Publishing Co., Cleveland, O.

My dear Mr. Saunders:

Your influence and kindly interest have secured for me the position with Tully & Clark. I want to thank you for the excellent recommendation which you gave me and to a.s.sure you that I shall give my best attention to my new work.

Very truly yours, John Dillon.

Dear Sir:

Mr. Walter Green, whom this will introduce to you, is a member of our Credit Department. He is visiting New York on a personal matter, but he has offered to make a personal investigation of the Crump case and I have advised him to see you, as the man who knows most about that affair. If you can find the time to give him a brief interview, you will do him a favor, and I also shall appreciate it.
