He did good work.
Mr. Ball.
What was it?
Mr. Shelley.
Order filling.
Mr. Ball.
As an order filler did he have access to any more than one floor?
Mr. Shelley.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Ball.
How many floors?
Mr. Shelley.
Just about any of them outside the offices.
Mr. Ball.
Were there certain floors that he worked more upon which he worked more frequently than other floors?
Mr. SHELLEY. The first floor is where all the order filling is done; the 5th, 6th, 7th floor are used for storage and when they need stock on the first floor anybody goes up and gets it.
Mr. Ball.
So he would work mostly on the first floor and sometimes on 5, 6, and 7, is that what you mean?
Mr. Shelley.
Yes.
Mr, BALL, Did you ever talk to him?
Mr. SHELLEY, Not too much; he wasn't too talkative. If I had something I wanted him to do, I would tell him and he usually did it.
Mr, BALL, His work was satisfactory?
Mr. Shelley.
Yes.
