Appointment of Eugene T. Page (1907)
Postmaster A.W. WILLIS in making up his new appointments to fill vacancies caused by death and promotion, did not fail to recognized the worthy and efficient men in the service. One of those to receive favorable recognition and one of whom all Nashville is proud, is Eugene T. PAGE, who has been in the service but a short while and who has worked faithfully, and has, it is said, made a very good clerk. He went in as a substitute, was then promoted to a professional clerkship, and now he receives the appointment as a regular clerk. This scores one for Nashville. It will be seen that proper recognition is given to our people when they go in with a determination to win, when they decide to win in spite of environments.
The Postmaster also recommended the following promotions to fill the places made vacant by the death of Capt. L.L. TERRY, Superintendent of the Mailing Department, and Edward FULLER, of the Money Order Division, and the vacancies occasioned by the promotions:
W.J. O’CALLAGHAN, Assistant Superintendent of Mails, to be promoted to the position of Superintendent of Money Order Division.
W.J. GLASCOCK, Transfer Clerk Railway Mail Service, to be transferred to the position of Superintendent Mailing Division.
Albert DULLING, Foreman Mailing Division, to be promoted to Assistant Superintendent Mailing Division.

Several carriers who have been on the probationary list were made permanent and their salaries raised.
