JOURNAL OFFICE,

_Dear Sir_: In reply to the above advertisement I would
respectfully offer my services.
I am 19 years of age, have a good education, and have had some
experience in business, having assisted my father in his
grocery store. I am not afraid of work, and never allow myself
to be idle when there is work to be done. I can refer you as
to my character, to Mr. J.H. Trout, president of the Gas
Company, who has known me all my life.
In reference to salary, I leave that with you, but feel
certain that I could earn five dollars per week for you.
Hoping to have the pleasure of an interview, I remain,
Respectfully,
HENRY OTIS.
