TYPIST TO MARRY MILLIONAIRE

London Girl’s Changed Fortune [By SUSAN VAUGHAN] What is it like to know that you will soon be giving up a typist’s job to become the wife of a millionaire? To know that instead of having to queue for buses you will be riding in a prestige car? I put these questions to 20-year-old Ann Cass, the Ealing, London, girl, who next February will marry John Bloom, the industrial millionaire. “The fact that we won’t have to worry about money should help to ensure the happiness of our marriage,” she said. “But I would still have married him if he were only a salesman, and not the tycoon he is.” They met a year ago when Ann went to a charity meeting in Jahn’s flat in Mayfair. After that they went out together frequently. Last July, when Ann was on holiday in Majorca with a girl friend, John phoned from London and proposed. Ann said “Yes.”

Now she is learning how to be ah industrialist’s wife. She often visits his factory where he employs 600. And, although she is sometimes a little worried about how she will cope With a cook, butler and chauffeur, she has a very understanding husband-to-be. A few years ago John Bloom was a £l2-a-week clerk. He started importing washing machines from Holland and never looked back.
