I will go along with Harry as a former Q employee.

Sears started on the Q? Where did he start?

If he did, he got his start in the retail biz when he worked for the M&StL at Redwood Falls, MN.

If you have a chance to view a Sears Catalog reprint, ca. 1900, take a look at the advertising for telegraph instruments. The advertising lists several whys/reasons/advantages for learning telegraphy.
