Roy has been manager here eighteen months and during that time has more than trebled the business of that company. When he took charge of the office the average monthly receipts for the past year had been but $22. Under his energetic management and through courteous treatment of patrons he built it up to $80 per month average the first year and this year the books show a business of over $100 a month. These figures show the estimation of which he is held by the people here better than any words of ours. Roy Fike is a wholesome young man and has a bright future before him.
