"a girl friend who worked was talking t
go to work berd theo!
"About that time I looked up and uw Mr. Will Repe, Br., coming down the aisle, so I asked him for a Job. He told me at first that he had all the clerks he needed. then he told me to come back the next day and I could on to work.
"In those days the store was all on one floor. [ worked in the silks and dress goods department. I liked
- -
the work and time went by so fast that I don't know the exact length of time I have been here. It seems like home to me now ..
NATIVE OF THE OZARKS
"Fifteen years ago I war given charge of the ready-to-KOLBude partment. Then the department ' !! email with only myself and a steck giri handling it. It was back in a corner on the first floor."
And Miss Prophet Indicated the large space on the second floor of the store given over to ready-to- wear and called attention to the de- partment In the basement in point- Ing out the growth of the ready-to- wear department in the 15 years.
Miss Prophet in a native of the Ozarks. havir.g been born near Springfield and spent her entire life here. She lives at present with her two sisters. Misses Lucy and Ora Prophet 23 West Calhoun
