Locksmith

Last week Mrs. Everett James Goodenough of Covington, Ky. was waiting for Mr. Everett James Goodenough to "come home and talk her arm off." Husband Goodenough was in Fairbanks, Alaska where officers of the First National Bank have been having trouble with their vault. To service their equipment, they summoned Mr. Goodenough, of Covington's Mosler Lock Co. To Chicago, to Manhattan, even to Cuba, Locksmith Goodenough has traveled, has watched jammed doors swing open at the touch of his skilled fingers. While on his way to Fairbanks he stopped off at Helena, Montana, worked on the balky lock of a vault in the Federal Reserve Bank. No locksmith west of the Mississippi had been able to open the door, which had been jarred by last autumn's earthquake. When Locksmith Goodenough left Helena the door was open. Lock-opener and repairer since 18, Everett James Goodenough, 38, is a serious-looking, bespectacled specialist with a tremendous enthusiasm for his specialty. He takes photographs of his big jobs, is never more pleased than when he is exhibiting and describing them. Since a Chicago bank once mistook him for a bank bandit, he has carried an identification card with photograph & finger prints. Said Mrs. Goodenough: "I have decided when he comes back just to take time off and let him get it off his chest."
