POSTAL VETERAN RECALLS RIDING IN FIRST AUTO Charles W. Ford Also Made First Record for Edison's Phonograph Chicago, Ag. 28 —(UP) —A 70-year , old man who made a record for the first phonograph, rode in the first automobile, and hired the first vau deville actor for a traveling circus now is taking his first long vacation, a permanent retirement from government service. He is Charles W. Ford, former | rujjway clerk, who was placed on the retirement list on his 70th , birthday. And now that his working days are over, Ford finds plenty of time in which io reminisce. He recalls years ago when he was a page In the United Stales ’ Senate. An obscure inventor had ' left a strange device in the Sen- ! ate patent committee rooms pending granting of a patent. Young i Charley Ford sneaked in there one day and delivered an old-fashioned , "spell-binder" into the mouthpiece. Ford had made a recording for i the first phonograph and years later Thomas E. Edison- Uf>t quite so obscure an inventor—presented him with the cylindrical recording of his voice. i When the young page’s father — i who had been a Kentucky senator — left the political world and moved > to Baraboo, Wis., Charley Ford join- > ed the government mail service on the Chicago and Winona Railway |H>stoffice division.
