As a Sunday subscriber to your newspaper, I read your offer with a great deal of interest.

Over the years, I had many summer jobs while I was going to school:

drugstore delivery boy ($0.10/hr);

truck driver -- LCBO (delivery to bars), Eatons, cleaners, transport companies;

taking English cars off ships and driving them to a compound;

CNE -- selling tickets and parking cars

making and selling french fries at Sunnyside; and

driving a car to California for a dealer in Detroit.

Now an established lawyer, Alfred H. Herman's history of employment began with a summer job at Simpsons Sears, where he received a $0.05/hr raise.

All of these jobs were good and gave me pleasant memories.

However, the most memorable was working on the packing and shipping of catalogues at Simpsons Sears, as it was then called, when I received a raise on the hourly rate of pay from $0.35 per hour to $0.40 per hour as verified by the enclosed note which I have always cherished.

Obviously, I had many summer jobs over the years, but my latest job has given me stability as proven by the fact that I have been practising law for 50 years and still at it.

Accordingly, I have not engaged in summer jobs since 1952.

Yours very truly,
Alfred H. Herman
