JAMES SEVERSON,

is a young Norwegian, about eighteen or nineteen years of age, who came

from Iowa to be a clerk two years ago in the large store of G. B. Yates.

The jolliest and most popular young man, with everybody, especially his

customers. He speaks several languages well. To his wit and gond nature

everybody will bear witness, especially the ladies; he is a good salesman,

industrious, correct, and to be depended upon; he is short, stout, and a

little “daredevil” if any trouble is on hand.
