Averages 4,500 Miles 

 a Month 



I was a fireman, earning $2.30 a day, or 100 

 miles, when I enrolled with the I. C. S. for the 

 Locomotive Running Course. Before I had 

 finished half the lessons, I passed a satisfactory 

 examination as required by the Frisco Railroad 

 to become an engineer. I have been engaged as 

 a locomotive engineer 9 years, 4 years in freight, 

 and 5 years in the passenger service. No one 

 who has completed your Course need have any 

 fear of any criticism from his employers, because 

 he will know what to do and how to do it. I am 

 making now on an average of 4,500 miles a 

 month, making a salary of $200, an increase over 

 my former salary of 150 per cent.
