Charles Frederic Carlysle Pertilla

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The accompanying picture shows the familiar face of Charles Frederic Carlysle Pertilla.  It takes too long to say all that name, and so for short his more intimate friends call him "Fritz"  Mr. Pertilla was born in Norwich 21 years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam H. Pertilla, Jr. who reside at 30 Mechanic street.  "Fritz" left Norwich several years ago and struck out for himself, with the result that he has been employed as waiter at the Butterfield House, in Utica, the Yates, in Syracuse and the Palace Café, in Boston.  Subsequently he served as head waiter on the Twentieth Century Limited, in the magnificent train service afforded by the New York Central lines, and recently he has been promoted to have full charge of a parlor car in the equipment of the Empire State Express, running between Buffalo and New York. Here's for still better success "Fritz!"
