_ |v'} f. / T" A \ A. JTJ 4 -'XI Edison 'Hero' to Aide of Inventor for 50 Years William Meadowcroft, 77, Just Recovered From Serious Illness, Is Back On Job He’s Filled For Half Century I ■> w Jit IBflflk r 1 ■r ' Villi am H 14.EADOWROFT &nJ EoiyoM. W ‘ Z zS M.EADOU'CROFT Rare it is to find the kind of true and devoted service personified by William H. Meadowcroft in nil half century of association with Thomas A. Edison as his confidential secretary. This pleasant white-haired man of 77 years has grown old in the trusted employ of the “Wizard of Menlo Park,’’ the while he has been a distinguished developer of decorative electric lamps, the first to experiment with the X-ray and a contributor to developments with electric signs. Rare with employe and employer, too, is the light in which Mr. Meadowcroft holds the noted inventor. “They say no man is a hero to one who is close to him. But this is an exceptional case.” Those are Mr. Meadowcroft’s words and they aptly describe the type of devoted service which he has rendered throughout 50 years of loyalty.

■ WEST ORANGE N. J. —Half a century of loyal service rendered any I man is a notable achievement of I which anyone might well be proud but William H. Meadowcroft just past his 77th birthday, has the envi1 able record of having server! Tho- ■ mas A. Edison for 50 years as his 1 I confidential secretary. Mr. Meandowcroft, a pleasant I I white-haired man grown old in the I I employ of the “Wizard of Menlo , Park,” is particularly in the ties ! I these days because he has just rej covered his health from a serious i ; illness which took him from Mr Edii son's side for five months .So now. 1 i once more, these two men far bej vend their prime in life but both yet I doing more than a normal man's I *oik. are laboring side by side a ain as they have since 1881. Although he has been overshadowed by the phenomenal achievements of his superior, Mr. Meadowcroft has been one of the greates* developers of decorative lamps in the country. He was one of the fit st to experiment with X ray and he helped develop the first electric! signs. But primarily and with all the fervor of his being, he has lifted a tremendous load from Mr. Edison’s shoulders by his painstaking I efforts as confidential secretary. Actually, Mr. Meadowcrott is' "Prime Minister" of the little domain that the famous inventor has; set up at Menlo Park, near here. He I generally arises at 7 o’clock and motors to the Edison plant from his home in Boonton, N. J. He start' the day by opening the usual huge allotment mail and dictates replies to letters of lesser importance addressed to Mr. Edison, reserves a lew that he prefers to show the i genius and follows a routine which! would tire many less devoted iniii-1 viduals half his age. Mi. Meadj/Uerofl, interviewed I com erning his long and faithful' service with Mr. Edison, gave an i inn Jit into his companionship with ! the noted inventor which is poign-’ 1 ' antly interesting. I T have always liked my job," I j said Mr. Meadowcroft. "It has al-i | ways been a distinct source of plea-,

sure. Mr Edison's wonderful personality is quite impossible to sum up in only a few words. They say no man is a hero to one who is close to him. But this is an exceptional case. Knowing Mr. Edison intimately, as I do, 1 am still filled with i amazement at his fertility and his I tremendous persistence. "It is an unusual and wonderful ■ l experience to have been privileged I to live alongside Mr. Edison all! these years. It is an experience a ! man cannot have with a lesser per | i One never plumbs Mr. ■, Edison's depth." Mr. Meadowcroft's modesty is ap : i‘a ent When he remarks about his! being “privileged" to live alongside the electrical wizard. No doubt it H is a circumstance which should ! rightfully be styled a privilege, and yet, one must not forget the 50 years of service which he has rendered unselfishly to his "hero"— all the time perhaps subjugating his own inv ntive talents so that his labors might not be impaired in the service of his superior. In no way detracting from the fame dud renown of Mr. Edison, he has a splendid friend and advisor ; iu ’he glowing personality of WilJiam Meadowcroft. a bulwark between the outside world and the inventor, the while being a trusted i confidante and aide. It' more men' ■ in places of outstanding importance' ! were to be held in the light in which i Mr Meadowcroft holds Mr. Edison I , and had been served so thoroughly well, they, too. might be in a position to accomplish more from such ready and willing assistance as has been rendered by this true friend. AKKJVALS I Dr. and Mrs. O. E. Brodbeck of i Elyria, Ohio are the parents of a ! g'rl baby born to them, July g. at I their home. The baby has been named Nancy Ann. Dr. Brodbeck ' is the son of J. w.
