Life and register readings

Mehmet (Muhammed) Raşit Efendi was born in Akhisar in 1880/81 (AH 1298). Work began in 1897/98, at about 16, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1897/98, with Mehmet (Muhammed) Raşit as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı odacısı in Akhisar. Next came a return to Akhisar from 1900 to 1903. At the same time, from 1902 to 1907, the lists also place Mehmet (Muhammed) Raşit in a post with no place named as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kitabeti refakatı. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1909 give a second post, in Kırkağaç as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1908 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Ziraat Bankası müfettiş muavini.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to a peak of 1,500 in 1911, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911.
