Peabody News
1901

	Just by way of change we want to make brief mention of Roy Fike, the gentlemanly 
young athlete who has charge of the Postal Telegraph Office here.

	Roy has been manager here eighteen months and during that time has more than trebled
the business of that company. When he took charge of the office the average monthly receipts
for the past year had been but $22. Under his energetic management and through courteous 
treatment of patrons he built it up to $80 per month average the first year and this year 
the books show a business of over $100 a month. These figures show the estimation of which 
he is held by the people here better than any words of ours.

	Roy Fike is a wholesome young man and has a bright future before him.
