Pence doesn't talk much about his
success. He isn't that kind, But
when he does talk about Fieetrieity
and the great future which it holds
for men and boys—he hits "right from
the shoulder." Without any reuerva-
tion he gives all credit for his ;mi m-
ing success to the horongh Electrical
training which he has received in
spare time during the past months.
But let Pence tell his own' story.
