At that time he was making $30 a week and wondering if the time would ever conte when he could buy anything he wanted, like he now is able to do. Owes Success to Electricity. 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. Read his letter dated October 9, 3922, to L. L.
