"I'll make you my assistant," he said at last. "You can move over
to this larger desk. If you are quick to learn and apply yourself
closely you'll find it to your advantage." He managed to invest the
ordinary words with a suggestion of semi-mystery. I didn't like the
knowing half-wink of his eyes. I should far more have appreciated a
mention of the definite salary I would receive in the new
position... -from "Chapter VI: As Binks' Assistant, I Get on the
Inside" ~ ~ ~ An adventurous and intrepid young woman, Anne Shannon
Monroe refused to let the traditional complacent, genteel poverty
of her family stop her from launching a career. In this delightful
1912 collection of true-life tales, which first appeared in The
Saturday Evening Post, she tells her own story of making her way in
the business world in the big city of Chicago. Nosy landladies,
dishonest employers, and the cruelties of the competitive job
market can't keep her down: her indomitable spirit shines through
it all, as she rises from "typewriter girl" to advertising
copywriter in the mean offices of the Windy City. American writer
ANNE SHANNON MONROE (1877-1942) was a great granddaughter of a
member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and she drew extensively
on her life in the Pacific Northwest in her books about its history
and culture. She is the author of Happy Valley: A Story of Oregon
(1916), Behind the Ranges (1925), and Mansions in the Cascades,
written with Elizabeth Lambert Wood (1936).
