Arthur Williams, Jr.

Business address: 16 Wall Street, New York City

Residence address: loii Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Married: September 9, 1914

Williams is in the bond department of the Bankers Trust Company of New York City.

He writes: "I worked for the Trust Company of America in New York City, for three years, first as a messenger, in which job I learned short cuts and the proper use of a transfer; as a bookkeeper, where I learned to add correctly, and as an assistant auditor, where I learned enough to gather nerve to call myself an accountant. The title landed me a job in charge of the branch account department of the Interwoven Stocking Company of New Brunswick, where I remained until it occurred to me that the lack of dyestuffs might cause a shortage in Yale blue. In order to see that this did not happen, I accepted a position as manager of the Weiller Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of dyestuffs. I remained with this company until January 1, 1917, when I took up my present work."

On September 9, 1914, in New York City, he married Hazel Johnson, born in St. Louis, Missouri, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Johnson. A son, Arthur, 3d, was born in New Brunswick, July 8, 1915.
