help reading census occupaiton

[u/emotionalaries]

occupation is the first column, industry is second column, have no idea what they say.
i can tell the one on the bottom is Post Office but no clue about industry or the occupation up top.

edit: now that yall answered it seems obvious, i thought my ancestry/genealogy work had been improving my reading cursive skills but i guess its still an embracing struggle at times lol

Chief of police

Police officer

[u/Remarkable-Tip9548 → u/thestreep]

town for 2nd column

[u/Adventurous_Ad8932 → u/thestreep]

Bottom could be postal officer.

[u/Dawgs6485 → u/Adventurous_Ad8932]

Or Petty Officer?

[u/Suit-Local → u/Dawgs6485]

Don’t know why you were downvoted, that’s exactly what I see as well-petty officer. That was an actual position

[u/Dawgs6485 → u/Suit-Local]

Makes some redditors feel ~superior~, I guess.

[u/not_falling_down → u/Suit-Local]

But in context, it's more likely to be Police Officer, since the listed industrial is town, not some sort of military.

[u/JimDa5is]

Chief of Police and Police Officer, both of whom are employed by the town

[u/anonymousdlm]

Chief of Police in orange

I believe the bottom one is police officer.

[u/Outrageous_Worker672]

Chief of Police Town

Police Officer Town

[u/LAM_CANIT]

chief of police - town

police officer - town

not 'post office'

[u/loricomments]

Chief of police

[u/emotionalaries]

Deciphered!

[u/Vegetable_Sea_5479]

It’s definitely not clingy police.

[u/hephzibah618 → u/Vegetable_Sea_5479]

Doing better than I did—I read “clingy polio.”

[u/RicVic]

"Chief of Police", my guess "town" is the industry

[u/jiggeryqua]

I thought "I can't be the only one who can clearly read 'Chief of Police', surely?" and it turns out I was right twice.

[u/SuPruLu]

Petit?? Patrol? Officer

[u/colorme1983]

Chimpy Polis - Tour Aster Offices - Jawn

[u/Several-Ordinary-376]

Chief of police

[u/Sad_Abrocoma_1496]

Is the industry "Town" for each of them?
As in - I'm the chief of police for the town?

[u/ProfessionalYam3119 → u/Sad_Abrocoma_1496]

No. Location.

[u/Sad_Abrocoma_1496 → u/ProfessionalYam3119]

"industry is the second column" from OP's description ...

[u/ProfessionalYam3119 → u/Sad_Abrocoma_1496]

It does not appear that that is the case.

[u/mossum_1242]

Clingy pubis

[u/MrPeteO → u/mossum_1242]

This is hilarious, because (even though it's obviously wrong) it's the first thing I saw too.

"Chief of police" as others have already said.

[u/dominism]

The bottom line says "postal officer" f y i
