	A. L. HOFFER is District Sales Agent for the National Cash Register C
Company, with headquarters at Miami. Mr. Hoffer was born and reared in the city t
that is the home of the great manufacturing and business organization known as t
the National Cash Register Company. It is an interesting coincident that he and t
the business were born the same year, and Mr. Hoffer has been actively i
identified with the company for the past sixteen years.
	He was born at Dayton, Ohio, in 1883, attended the public schools of 
that city, and in 1906 began his service with the National Cash Register 
Company, which for several years had reached the position of one of America’s mo
most distinctive industries, and a marvel business organization. Mr. Hoffer to
took the thorough course of training in the office and factory required of yo
young men seeking to qualify for salesmanship. His first duty as a salesman was wi
with the Pittsburgh branch of the company. From there he was transferred to Wa
Washington office, and subsequently he was on the road as a traveling salesman in
in Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Fl
Florida. Mr. Hoffer spent one year at Jacksonville, and since 1911 has been lo
located at Miami.
	His district comprises nine counties in the southern part of the state, a
and under his management are fourteen people comprising the Miami staff of the c
company.
	Few men reach the sales staff of the National Cash Register Company 
without evidence of superior qualifications in salesmanship. But Mr. Hoffer has 
distinguished himself still further by proving a rating as one of the first 
among the hundreds of sales-representatives of this corporation, whose sales 
service is practically worldwide. There is an organization known as “The 
Hundred Point Club” of the National Cash Register Company. Each year the co
company assigns to the various sales districts a normal quota of business that ma
may properly be expected of its sale representatives. Those securing a business eq
equal to the quota are rated as hundred point men for the year 1921, when bu
business conditions over the country were below normal, Mr. Hoffer made a pe
percentage of 176.8, that is, 76.8 per cent in excess of the quota of business th
that had been projected for him by his company. Among all the sales agents in th
the United States and Canada, Mr. Hoffer stood seventh in rank for the year 19
1921. This showing made him a director of the Hundred Point Club.
	Mr. Hoffer is an active member of the Miami Chamber of Commerce. In t
that city he married Miss GLADYS WORLEY, daughter of Judge G. A. WORLEY, a l
leading member of the Miami bar. Their three children are: SYLVIA, JEAN and G
GEORGIA WORLEY.
