TELLS OF SUCCESS
A. B. Blackburn,
class 1915, writes
that he is very successful in his work
with the Franklin Automobile Company at Syracuse, New York. In a
letter recently received, he says:
"You are no doubt always interested to learn of tho success of your
graduates, so I take this opportunity
of telling you of my advancements in
the Franklin Company.
"About the first of the year I was
placed at the head of the Training Division. There were about thirty men
in the course, and the experience
gained in handling them and in mapping out courses and lectures has
proven invaluable. Part of my work
consisted of designing and Installing
standard instruction sheets, for handling "repeat" jobs in the repair shop.
Have done quite a bit of time study
work in connection with the above,
and when I saw in The Kentucky Kernel that you had instituted a course
In that this year, I was reminded of
your prediction that in all probability
we would get work which we neglected or didn't get in college. Glad to see
this year's class Is getting some of
that work.
"Received another promotion last
week and Monday I start working as
assistant to the manager of the Advertising Department."
