  [p. 841] master mechanic of the Standard Works of the National Tube
  Company, at Ellwood City, occupies a very responsible position, having

  subsequently worked at Dayton and in other cities, including
  Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. For eighteen months he worked in the

  Worth Brothers, steel plate manufacturers, at Coatesville, Pa. In March,
  1905, he started in as foreman for the Shelby Steel Tube Company, at
  Greenville, Pa., in the first year was promoted to be general foreman
  and remained there until June, 1906, when he came to Ellwood City and to
