He leaned against the door jamb and regarded me with disap proval. "I can see right away that you need me," he said. "Are you a bootlegger?" I in quired. "If so I have no Liberty bonds left to give you in exchange for your wares." He smiled pityingly. "I am not a bootlegger," he said, "n-or a lfe insurance solicitor, nor a book agent, nor a bill collector. I bave come to help you!" "In that case," I said, "perhaps you will lend me J 15." He lifted his palms, outward, in depreciation. "To lend you $15 would be to pauperize yxu," ho said. "I will show you how to make $15,000 even $1,500,000." "I am at your service." I told him. Xou," he said, "are a time was ter! I can see that by the way you use your typewriter. I do not know what you are writing, but I can 'enow you how to write in 10 min utes what, unaided, you would re ruire an hour to write. That is a saving of 50 minutes. Admitting, for the sake of argument, that your time is worth 10 cents a minute. that would be a gain to your pocketbook of 50 cents an hour, or 5 for a 10-hour day, or $30 a week, or " "But," I objected, "a saving of $30 a week wouldn't amount to $1,500, 000 in quite a little while." "I can save you time and effort in other directions. How many min utes do you devote each morning to tying your necktie and lacing your shoes? "To tell you the truth I never had anybody time me while I was thus employed. Perhaps a minute and a half." "You ought to do it in a second and a half. That would be 600 per cent saved. Allowing that your time is worth, altogether, $10 a day I cotild, if you adopted my system, make it worth $60 a day, merely by effecting economies in dressing and eating. "How many bites do you take at a baked potato?" "I never counted." "But I have. That is, I have counted thhe bites taken by men of your height, weight and nervous force. Tou take 13 bites. Speed that up as it should be speeded up and you will get away with a potato In eight bites, and the rate of biting will be increased to 18 per minute instead of 12, which would make a saving of " '.. "But hold on. I'm not earning anything when I eat my dinner. That is Just extra time, for which nobody is paying me. "True, as things are now. But you could sell that time if you had it, if you understood the value of marketing. I don't know what your business is. but that makes no dif ference. Time is of the utmost im portance to you, and every minute of it is saleable, and at a high fig ure, if it is properly utilized. How many heat units do you employ in a half mile walk?" "I haven't the slightest idea." "I have. Tou employ 88,563.08, and you should employ but 24,693.51. These heat units should be expended after you have reached your- place of employment. Tou could be using them now at your typewriter. I can see that what you are doing is tak- I ing you too much time and too much energy, mental and physical. Adopt the system I have come here to talk to you about and the time you are now spending would be of real value to you." "But," I said, "I am writing a let ter to a man I am trying to get to join a golf foursome Tuesday." "Then you oughtn't to be writing it. Tou ought to be writing a busi ness, letter. Well-written business letters bring in orders. They should, however, be mostly form letters, as it requires too much time to think up new ones for each customer. You will find that the letters I have samples of here will pull more busi ness than any you could possibly in vent, and they can be written 67 at a time instead of one. Tou will ad mit that you want business, won't you?" "No," I said, "I don't want any more business; that is not for my self at least, and I couldn't get any more business if I .wanted it. I would like more money, of course, but I fail to see how by increasing my output of letters I could bring it in." "That's because you are one of those hide-bound reactionary busi ness men who will learn nothing. Let me take you in hand. Let me show you how to sell goods all over this country, to rake in the dollars by the thousands Instead of by the hundreds, to build the biggest busi ness in the world, and to be known as a hard-headed, hard-boiled busi ness man, who is out after every cent, and who means to get it!" "It wouldn't help," I sighed. "Not in my business, anyway." "What is your business?" he de manded. "I," I replied, "am a clergyman."
