What I Was Doing at 20
I began in politics at 20 as a clerk at Bowser and Hawkins, Fletcher Ave and Shelby St, earning $10 weekly. City Councilman Preston Trusler offered me a fireman position, I accepted, and became a substitute at Chemical Company No. 3 on Prospect St with twenty five cents for three hours. A week later the Bowen and Merrill bookstore burnt on March 17, 1890, killing thirteen firemen and injuring several, including two from my company, which led to a regular job at $2 a day.
