Olson to Peru Prefers Lima Posting With Mercantile Bank
A letter from Charles Olson, son of Olaf A. Olson, explains his posting to Lima, Peru with the Mercantile Bank of the Americas and its associated firms. He recounts choosing the Lima location, thanks the Minot Rotary Club, and notes past service in France and Germany with a Dodge car supplied by Gen Pershing for Army entertainment trips amid war-torn routes. He mentions travel via Kingston Jamaica and the Panama Canal and asks for continued newspaper delivery to Lima.
