“The best that we have ever heard in our school”— Prin. O. M. Jones, Rittman, O.

 

A Splendid Writer and
Tactful Observer

I am very much interested in the ambitions of
Mr. R. J. Jeffreys. I have known this splendid
young man for a number of years. He is unusually
well qualified, is a splendid writer, very tactful
and has had much experience in travel. It is a
real pleasure to me to write this letter of recom-
mendation. I will say, further, that 1 would be
glad to answer any questions that you might care
to ask me with reference to Mr. Jeffreys.

HAS HAD COLORFUL EXPERIENCES

Mr. Jeffreys certainly has had wonderful ex-
periences and surely knows how to express them
in the English language. He has a wonderful
future. He is entitled to it by experience and
education. He has the ability, the pep and the
appearance ... everything necessary, and with it,
a very pleasing manner of address on the lecture
platform. When it comes to writing, he has no
superior. Let the good work go on...

Writes Gripping and Popular
Feature Stories

Mr. Raymond Jeffreys has served on this
paper as a feature story writer and has
written many special articles, all of which
I have regarded as of the very highest type
of human interest stories. It is a pleasure for
me to give this humble testimony in behalf
of one whom I| know can be of the best pos-
sible service in feature writing and lec-
turing.

A Treat That Comes to a
Community But a Few

Times in a Generation

It affords me pleasure to write these
lines in commendation of Raymond J.
Jeffreys and his work.

Mr. Jeffreys spoke to a large audience in
our new High School auditorium and gave
us such a rare evening of good things as
comes to a community but a few times ina
generation. I cannot call his work a lecture,
because it is so much more than that. It
consists of education, entertainment, humor,
pathos, oratory, eloquence and charm, all
combined, and an undefinable atmosphere
all its own.

He has a real message for real people,
many a good laugh for those who love
laughter, deep thoughts for the reflective,
and a charm and beauty of diction that
will make-a strong appeal ta. the most cul-
tured and refined. I heartily recommend
him, for I am sure he can give any audience
a real worth while program.

A 100 Per Cent Soldier in the
World War

Lt. R. J. Jeffreys served overseas during
the warin the U.S. Air Service. As his Com-
manding Officer, in my daily contact with
him, I built up a tremendous admiration for
his abilities, intelligence, courage and willing-
ness to work. In fact,in all those things that
go to make a good soldier and a fine man, he
measured upal100O percent. There isno man
I met in the Army in whom I would have a
greater faith or trust.

Walter J. Enright

Mr. Jeffreys’ extensive travels and wide range
of experiences gives him a broad vision and ec-
curate conception of world problems.

High School Gets Him Back Again

R. J. Jeffreys gave a lecture in our Athletic
Hall, and aside from being entertaining, was highly
educational.

One of the features about the lecture was the
fact that the invitation to Mr. Jeffreys was by the
request of the High School. A large percentage
of the High School students were in attendance.
His popularity was due to a short lecture given
in the High School the previous season.

I feel sure that any community or organization
is giving their patrons something beyond an or-
dinary lecture in this entertainment.

Quick to Grasp the Inter-
esting and Unusual

Raymond J. Jeffreys has a discriminating sense
of news values, is quick to grasp the interesting
and unusual aspects of events, places, personali-
ties, and conditions, and is a facile, ready writer.

I have followed closely Mr. Jeffreys’ work as
editor of the Mount Union College weekly news-
paper and annual, as city editor of The Alliance
Review, and as managing editor of The Colum-
biana Ledger. He is enthusiastic, indefatigable,
and successful in all his journalistic and lecturing

activities.

Wide Experiences Help Understand
All Angles of Life

Mr. Jeffreys’ world wide experiences in travel,
in the army and in various walks of life, make it
possible for him to understand and appreciate all
angles of life.

I have heard his various lectures a number of
times and have known him personally for many
years. He is a valuable speaker and his keen sense
of humor makes his lectures the very highest type.

The experience he has gained from extensive
travel gives him an understanding of world needs
and his ability as a lecturer and writer puts him in
the class of really useful men. He is an invaluable
man inany great national problem, for he hasa force-
ful, persuasive and convincing manner as a speaker
and thoroughly understands the publicity “game”.

I have been associated with this young man in
a number of big undertakings and have found him
to be a loyal and devoted friend, a man of qualities
that can be depended upon in the time of need.
His enthusiasm and ability to “put things across”
makes him a good leader.

Lectures are Enlightening
and Entertaining

It is with pleasure that I take this opportunity
of expressing my delight in the unusual enter-
tainments given by R. J. Jeffreys. His experiences
during his many unusual adventures were among
the most unique and interesting that I have ever
been privileged to hear, and his humorous pres-
entation of them made the evening entertainment
one never to be forgotten.

His subject material is very enlightening as
well as entertaining, and his enthusiastic and op-
timistic personality gives a forcefulness to his
stories. of adventure that holds the attention of

the most difficult.
My personal interest was most aroused by his

humerous recital of his strange experiences among
the common people of the many countries he

visited by auto.

Makes Good Record in College
Says “Prexy”

Mr. R. J. Jeffreys is a graduate of Mt.
Union College. During his College course
he not only made a good record in his studies
but took a great interest in student activities,
particularly the ‘‘Dynamo’’, our college pa-
ber, which he edited most successfully, and
the ‘‘Unonian’’, the College annual of which
he was also editor. His College course was
interrupted by the war, in which he rendered
valuable service as an aviator. Since leav-
ing college he has made a success as a jour-
nalist and lecturer, and has demonstrated
the fact that he has a gift for discovering
material of human interest.

The Type of Real Representa-
tive American Needed On
the Platform Today

I have known Mr. R. J. Jeffreys since
boyhood and find him to be a man of ster-
ling worth. He is honest, straightforward
and courageous ... typical of the keen cut
Twentieth Century American.

His college training, newspaper experi-
ences, Army service, varied travels and
world adventures, makes him exceedingly
well fitted for the lecture platform. His vim
and dash, along with his keen understand-
ing of human nature and of world problems,
give spice, variety and entertainment to his
lectures. But above all, he has a message in
every lecture, something that will benefit
every community.

 

Mr. Jeffreys is the type of young Ameri-
can manhood that is needed on the platform
today. I have no hesitancy in recommen-

ding him to any audience in the country,
and wish to give him my hearty endorse-

ment.

Was Received by Government Officials

of Mexico

After returning from his thrilling adventure
into that mysterious southern country of Mexico,
which holds such a charm, alluring fascination,
and to some a dreaded horror, Mr. Jeffreys pulled
the curtains aside and gave the Realty Board a
brief glimpse into that hot bed of political up-
heavel and revolution, so much discussed and so
little understood.

In terms forceful because of their brevity and
scope, Mr. Jeffreys pictured Mexico at its best and
at its worst. He gave his hearers a colorful glimpse
into the whirl of politics, into the dull drab exist-
ance of the miserable peons and the high life of the
Spanish aristocracy. He presented a keen insight
into Mexico’s marvelous natural resources and
her latent possibilities.

Vivid Description of Passion Play
Makes It a Living Reality

Mr. Jeffreys delighted a large audience which
filled our church to hear him give his lecture on
“The Passion Play”. This great drama has always
been regarded with much interest among all
people, and it has all of it’s gripping power when
told by Mr. Jeffreys.

Mr. Jeffreys pleasing manner of address and
vivid portrayal of that divine drama, as reverently
enacted by the humble peasant villagers of
Oberamergau, all combine to make you feel an
intense interest. His unusual presentation of this
world famed play helps to unveil religion and make
the Bible a living reality.

Makesa Hitand Successfully
Holds All Ages

When Mr. Jeffreys appeared at our school, we
had a special afternoon meeting at which we had
all of the students from the fourth grade to the
twelfth grade of the High School and he was able
to handle his subject so successfully that he held
all ages for nearly an hour and a half—carrying
them into fits of humor, breathless thrills and ab-
sorbed interest.

Mr. Jeffreys’ experiences in foreign lands were
very interesting and of educational value. We

were glad of the opportunity of securing him for
our school.

A HUSTLING NEWSPAPER MAN

Mr. Jeffreys is a “live” hustling newspaper man
and took hold of The Columbiana Ledger when it
was down and out but soon made things hum. He
changed it from a poor struggling parasite to a
remarkably interesting paper which became the
foremost publication in eastern Ohio.

The Jeffreys Bros. bought the local paper in the

paper had not been prosperous.

But they thought they knew what remedy

apply it. In less than three months they had com-
pletely revolutionized the paper. They put life
and pep into it and created a community pride in
it’s welfare.

Raymond J. Jeffreys

His Colorful Experiences Make Lectures Entertaining-Educational-Inspirat‘onal and Leaves the Audience Feeling
Good Inside and Smiling Outside

Unique—with the Charm of Adventure and the Romance of Wanderlust

xy A YMOND J. JEFFREYS, “The Yankee Globe Trotter,”
W2¢ although not old in years, has had a more colorful life,

= more unusual experiences and a more varied career
than most men ever have ina lifetime. His “wanderings” have
taken him into nearly every walk of life and into many strange
corners of the globe. He is full of energy, vitality and activ-
ity and is never found on the beaten paths of travel. As a
High School Superintendent says, “Mr. Jeffreys is the typical
representative American type—courageous, a keen observer
and adventuresome.” His entertainments and travelogues are
full of sparkling wit, clever humor and interesting observations.
He tells of his hardships, thrilling adventures, gripping exper-
iences and luring “vagabonding” in an entertaining, educa-
tional and inspirational way; unique—with the charm of ad-
venture and the romance of wanderlust.

The dream of millions of people, the world over, is to some day have
the privilege of travel. Knowing that the most of us shall never realize
this great dream, Mr. Jeffreys brings all the thrills of adventure, the incidents
of “globe trotting” and the advantages of world-travel to our doors, with-
out the expense, hardships or responsibilities of extensive touring. His
vivid story satisfies that inner longing, common to all mankind, to know
more about our fellowmen in other parts of the world, to compare their
strange lands with our own and to have a more intimate knowledge of
world-wide affairs.

Mr. Jeffreys’ varied experiences and rubbing shoulders with people in
all walks of life, from peasants to kings, gives him a warm and sympathetic
understanding of the pleasures, the sorrows and the needs of humanity.
As one man said, “Mr. Jeffreys has a real message for real people, many a
good laugh for those who love laughter, deep thoughts for the reflective,
and a charm and beauty of diction that will make a strong appeal to the
most cultured and refined. I cannot call his work a lecture, for it is so
much more than that. It consists of education, entertainment, humor,
pathos, oratory, eloquence and charm all combined, and an undefinable
atmosphere all its own.”

As a Soldier:

At the outbreak of the world war, Mr. Jeffreys was in college. He left
his work, home and happiness to join the colors but was turned down,
as physically unfit, seven times before finally accepted in the U. S. Air
Service. Seven weeks after leaving home, he was on his way overseas.
Over there he served in four countries, nearly two hundred camps and on
two fronts. His varied experiences in the army were fascinating and
unusual.

As a Journalist:

Immediately after returning from overseas, Mr. Jeffreys returned to
college and took up journalism instead of law, as was his original plan.
The following year he received his degree, and then served on a number
of newspapers, where he was given the very highest type of references.

As an Editor:

He then bought a paper of his own and went into the publishing
business. He soon outgrew the old quarters and erected a beautiful new
plant. Other papers were added to the list until he had a very fine organiza-
tion. He finally sold this business and organized a motoring magazine in

St. Louis, called “Luck o’ the Road.”
As a World Adventurer:

He conceived the idea of organizing a newspaper icature story syndi-
cate and traveling all over the world to supply thrilling material, to satisfy
that inner longing that we all have, to know more about our fellow men
in the strange corners of the globe. This new adventure took him into
many interesting parts of the world and through many unusual experiences.

As a Syndicate Writer:

His -articles were published all over the United States and were re-
ceived with wild enthusiasm. As one editor said, “We consider Mr. Jeffreys’
stories extra good and want all that we can get.”

As an Entertainer and Lecturer:

He has won a name which is as distinct and unique, in the realm of the
platform, ‘as his colorful life has been in his world of experiences. He
enjoys the-reputation of being one of the most popular and easiest to
book, of any talent appearing before High Schools, Young Folks groups,
Service Clubs, Churches, Veteran’s Organizations and Social Clubs.
He has a happy combination of “fun and facts” which are entertaining,
educational and inspirational.

As an Evangelist:

He has a personality which wins its way into the hearts of the com-
munity. Although he has had but limited experience in this field,
during one meeting he “took a town by storm”, which had never
before been able to hold a successful meeting, and had one hundred
and forty eight additions in three weeks.

As a School Teacher:

He also won a number of attractive opportunities in this field, when he
filled out a year as Supt., of Schools and was given a unanimous vote of
the Board of Education to return for the permanent position, but his
desire to “taste life” from all angles, led him into a new field the fol-
lowing year.

As a Circulation Builder:

Mr. Jeffreys has had a wide experience as a newspaper circulation
campaign expert, on many papers in all parts of the country. He has
also promoted a number of successful enterprises in the publication field,
and continually receives offers to handle big propositions in this line of
work. One big daily paper says, “He is a tireless worker and gets the
results”. The manager of a magazine which he launched said, “He is a
natural born promotor and campaign manager”.

As an Artist:

Before attending college Mr. Jeffreys studied art and was preparing
himself for this work when his interests were diverted to law. He has
produced some excellent work in oil, water, crayon, pen and pencil. He
has had also a lot of experience as a cartoonist. For several years he filled
engagements as a “chalk talk cartoonist” on the platform.

As a Radio Entertainer:

Mr. Jeffreys put on one of the most novel and unique aviation prog-
rams on the air. He received “reams” of fan letters and the highest praise
from his fellow entertainers of the air.

As a Business Man:

Cleveland’s “Who’s Who”, published in four beautiful leather bound
volumes under the title of “This Cleveland of Ours”, says, “Raymond J.
Jeffreys is one of Cleveland’s most successful and enterprising young
business men. He is the president and practically sole owner of fou:
corporations.” He weathered the storm of one of America’s worst financial
depressions when most other firms were forced to throw up their hands
in bankruptcy.

As a Cosmopolite:

There are very few walks of life in which Mr. Jeffreys has not had a
“little taste”of their sphere of living, and appreciates their daily prob-
lems, their joys and sorrows and their “ups and downs”. He has tried
nearly every imaginable job, if only for a few weeks, to get a sympathetic
understanding of their “daily world”. All these things combined make
him an extremely popular entertainer, for he never fails to reach his
audiences in their own world of thought.

“He has a contagious spirit of enthusiasm”— Spt. J. R. Andrews, Clawson, Mich.
