Lawson Meyer Gets a Boost.

■•- • . Another Rensselaer boy who started in the field of labor by climbing telephone poles and is now climbing the ladder of success is Lawson Meyer, son of former postmaster P. B. Meyer. For some years be has been at Lake Forest, 111., where he has been the manager of the Chicago Telephone Co branch. Now he has been placed In charge of the Highland Park exchange also. The addition of another exchange to his field Of labor, of course brings additional salary and added responsibility and Lawson is thoroughly qualified for the great volume of work now managed by him. Of his promotion the Lake Forester says: Mr. L. H. Meyers, the popular manager of the Chicago Telephone Co’s, branch in-this city, has taken in connection with his present work the management of the Highland Park Exchange and will now have charge of Lake Forest and Highland Park. Mr. Meyer has been manager of the Lake Forest Exchange for four years. He thoroughly understands his business. He' is a hustler, giving his personal attention to every detail; during his , time here he has added greatly to the exchange making adjustments to the satisfaction of all. That his work has pleased the company is to be seen in his promotion, Highland Park being a large exchange To become as well acquainted with the Highland Park territory as he is with the Lake Forest, Mr. Meyer will make his residence at the Park. This, while hiß friends are pleased regarding his promotion, is to be regretted for both Mr. and Mrs. Mey?r have made many friends here who will be sorry to see them move o(it of town. Mr. Ford, who has been in charge of .the Park exchange and was at one time manager here, has been transferred to Waukegan to take the place of Mr. Jansen, who was killed in the accident there last week.
