| Within weeks of arriving in Los Angeles Harley had a job working for the May Company. It lasted only a couple of weeks. Within days he had his second job, working for Safeway Stores. That too lasted only a couple of months, but again, within days he was working again. This time the job was at Union Oil Company. He worked for Union Oil from 1927 until retirement in 1964. He was an accounting supervisor. This photo was taken in the Union Oil building in Los Angeles, probably around 1949. Note the row after row of desks with covered mechanical calculators. That's how accounting was done before the days of computers! |
