Postal Veteran Recalls First Auto
CHICAGO August 4 UP A 1 year old man who made a record for the first phonograph rode in the first automobile and hired the first vaudeville actor for a traveling circus show in taking his long vacation and permanent retirement from government service. Charles W. Ford former railway mail clerk was placed on the retirement list on his 7th birthday. He recalls years ago when he was a page in the United States Senate. Ford joined the government mail service on the Chicago and Winona Railway postoffice division where he met the Ringling brothers and persuaded them to hire their first professional actor for a road show. He later became a reporter for the Chicago Times and reentered government service. During the 1893 World’s Fair he helped in the government exhibit and rode with Elwood Haynes, inventor of the first motor car, in a horseless carriage. Ford’s first extended vacation came from government rules, and he kept extending service for years until retirement.
