He is working from a layout that shows all Long Distance lines in the state. My classm 2 out off a fob Ed Chandler had a good job all lined up long before he graduated from. Georgia Institute of Technology as an Industrial Engineer. But then he changed his mind . . . 46 When I got out of college in ’50,1 was all set to go with a company I’d worked for during a previous summer. 66 But then I got called up by the Army. During the next two years I heard a lot of good things from my Georgia Tech classmates who’d gone to work for the telephone company.. As far as I was concerned this was the best recom mendation any company could get. “So when I got out of the Army I stopped in to talk with the telephone people. When I saw an outline of their development program, I was sold. 46 My first year took me through every phase of handling and estimating costs on telephone equipment from warehouse to installation. I drew up plans for sev eral projects, then went out in the field to see how they were carried out. 44 Now I’m helping develop next year’s multi-million-dollar construction pro gram for Georgia. I’ve found it an in teresting and rewarding job.’ 5 In the engineering department of Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company in Atlanta; Ed Chandler is moving along in his career.
