FROM OUR LETTER BOX
Old-Time Employe [sic] Enjoys Cotton Belter
Recently there came to our desk a letter from Guy F. Campbell, a brother of Archie M. Campbell, superintendent of our dining car department, who is a former Cotton Belter employe and now resides in California.
Mr. Campbell tells us that it gives him a great deal of pleasure to read each issue of the Cotton Belter, especially when he sees the names of old-timers whom he used to know mentioned in its columns. He said that he started to work for the Cotton Belt as a boy in short pants in the passenger department under Mr. E. W. LeReaume when Mr. F. H. Britton was president, and after 16 years of employment with the Cotton Belt he resigned to enter the commercial field in California. When he left St. Louis on Dec. 26, 1916, a group of fellow employes in the general office presented him with a watch, which he still carries and treasures to this day.
Mr. Campbell is at present connected with the Zellerbach Paper Company, 3000 East 12th street, Los Angeles, and says if any of his old friends visit that city he would appreciate their looking him up.
It is good to know that we have so many former employes who are still loyal Cotton Belt boosters and take pride in the fact that they received their first business training in the employ of the Cotton Belt.
