              J. H. M. CLAGGETT. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co.
           holds a prominent place among the Buffalo anthracite coal ship-
           pers. This company has one of the largest coal shipping docks in
           Buffalo, and is capable of shipping 10,000 tons of coal per day.
           Its product is distributed and marketed in all parts of the
           United States where this commodity is used.
              In January, 1894 J. H. M. CLAGGETT accepted the position of
           Buffalo sales agent for this company, having previously spent
           three years in the same department of the Philadelphia office.
           He was born in Frederick county, Maryland, October 25, 1861;
           and in the schools of his native village received his early
           education. After attending school for some time in Washington,
           he entered St. John's College at Annapolis, Md., and there
           completed his course. At this time he was nineteen years of age,
           and soon afterwards he entered the employ of the Indiana, Bloom-
           ington and Western railroad, being placed in the transportation
           department. He remained in this department until 1889, when he
           accepted the position of cashier and paymaster for the Ohio,
           Indiana & Western R. R., the re-organized Indiana, Bloomington
           & Western. In this capacity he remained until 1890, when he
           entered the transportation department of the Big Four. On Jan-
           uary 1, 1891, he went to Philadelphia and accepted a position
           with the company which he still represents, having been promoted
           to his present position January 1, 1894. With them he now stands
           as a valuable assistant, and his services are highly appreciat-
           ed, as his past experiences testify.
              MR. CLAGGETT is unmarried, is a member of the Buffalo Club,
           and is well known in that city, and enjoys a large circle of
           friends.
