Good news for Christmas. An offer of employment.

$720 per year. Starts Jan 4th.

Wonder how life went for Miss Pauline Duffy.

I love old documents like this. Great item! I have a pay scale from the Erie RR from 1937. A passenger engineer made about $7 a day for his efforts.

$720 per year?

I guess that was pretty good, a new car went for $600 in 1936.

I wonder what the position was?

Considering that the year is 1936 and Blind River is somewhere east of Sault Sainte Marie, I would guess that the position might be for a housekeeper or secretary/office assistant.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
