| TEXT | Clinton G. Hancock, General Passenger Agent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad system, was born in Philadelphia, November 18, 1845. His father, the late Samuel P. Hancock, was a member of a prominent and well-known Quaker family, whose settlement at Salem, New Jersey, antedated the arrival of William Penn and his colonists in this State. He was a highly respected citizen, having served as Comptroller of Philadelphia with honor and credit. Mr. C. G. Hancock was educated at the public schools of his native city, taking a two years course at the Central High School, and on August 12, 1864, while in his nineteenth vear, he entered the employ of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company as clerk in the Freight Auditing Department, remaining in that position until July, 1869, when he was made General Ticket Agent, which title he held until July, 1879, in which year he was made General Passenger Agent as well, and has capably and acceptably filled the position to the present time. Mr. Hancock is an indefatigable worker, conservative and methodical in his business habits, yet constantly on the alert to be up with the times in his branch of railroading, and his genial manners and pleasant bearing win for him not only the hearty cooperation of his subordinates but most agreeably impress those patrons of the road who have business relations with him, while his thorough knowledge of the details of his department insures him a respectful hearing when brought in contact with the able men who fill similar posts with the other great transportation companies at the frequent meetings of the Passenger Agents of the Trunk Lines of the country. |
