1906 - Chicago Great Western Railway letter of recommendation
Chicago Great Western Railway Office of Division Freight and Passenger Agent
E.R. Beem - Division Freight and Passenger Agent Red Wing, Minn March 26, 1906
TO WHOM HANDED:-
The bearer, Miss Klara Hinderer, has been employed as Clerk and Stenographer in this office for the past six months. Miss Hinderer has proven herself a very valuable assistant and is an exceptionally bright young lady. It gives me much pleasure to recommend her services to any who may desire the same. She has resigned of her own free will with a view to securing a more lucrative position.

Comments
- Clara worked for the Railway for six months after graduating from the Red Wing Metropolitan Business College for six months to gain 'on the job' experience.
- The motto of the railway is "The Great Steel-Rail Highway For Freight and Passenger Traffic"
- TO WHOM HANDED:- is a unique salutation. Note the :- punctuation. I have noticed this is quite common in the old letters.
