Bancroft on Young Men's Chances in Street Railway Business
General William A. Bancroft of the Boston Elevated Railway discusses prospects for young men in street railways in the Saturday Evening Post. He argues country-born workers, college men, and farmhands can rise from the front platforms to senior roles, with promotions tied to ability and reliability. He notes health, hours, pay, and permanence attract workers, and explains pathways from conductor or motorman to higher posts, stressing fit eyesight and color perception, and the value of patience and diplomacy. He adds that many top officials started on the cars and that the farmer’s boy is a vanishing type.
