CONTRACTORY AND BUILDER

Duluth, Minn.,
January 26th, 1922

Mr. F. A. Whittier, State Agent

Dear Sir:-
Replying to yours of the 24th. Mr. Gilbert H. Stephenson worked for me something over three years. I found him perfectly reliable, a hard worker, one who did as ordered and did not interfere or agitate among the other workmen.
I know of no bad habits, he was honest and I never see him use liquor at any time or heard of his being in bad company, was well liked and spoken well of by all of by my foreman.
I would not hesitate to again employ him and would be glad to do so at this time, as he is above the average laborer for my class of work.
Trusting this covers the questions you have asked.

I am yours truly,
Geo. H. Lounsberry
