Show i WORKING FOR UNCLE bAM. Typewriter Girls Have an Easy Tims at Washington. From 8 o'clock in the morning until close to 6 in the evening there are 5,000 typewriters grinding out letters for the United States government. During these hours there are, of course, 5,000 typewriter girls busily hammering the machines. Uncle Sam is the largest employer of typists in the country and should be the patron saint of the typewriter girl. The amount of manuscript his workers work-ers turn out would make even Clyde Fitch look dizzy. ' Uncle Sam is the nicest kind of a man for typewriter girls to work for. He pays large salaries and he supplies his workers with everything they want. If a girl expresses a preference for a certain kind of machine she gets it. She does not have to sit down and try to pound a typewriter she does not like. Whenever a new typewriter girl is employed in one of the departments she names the machine and it is purchased pur-chased for her. |
