"I have known Mr. Jas. A. Matthews Jr. for a number of years, and consider him to be an efficient and promising young business man. I was intimately associated with him in office work for more than two years, and as an employer found him to be energetic, conscientious and capable, while as an associate he proved himself to be genial, considerate and of a cheerful disposition. He has advanced rapidly since his service with me, and I do not hesitate to recommend him for any position requiring business experience, reliability and executive capacity".
