In the job' of consuming roast duck, dressing, soup, salad, hot biscuits, I olives, candied sweet xtatoes, corn, pickles, ice cream, cake, pie, oranges, candy bars, milk, and a few other incidentals,! the boys' efficiency is second only to that of carrying papers.' The similarity is quite truthful. Though one or two boys1 may lack maximum apatites once in a while just as they! may miss a paper delivery, the fault is not general nor is it! permanent. j Last night was the night and they lived up to all ex-' pectations. All of those present qualified as being carrier1 boys now or as having had that experience, from the pub-j lisher, business manager, ciiculation manager, and oldest cnr-l rier down to the boy who has been on the job just two weeks.
