I need the best sales man in the country, a man with ideas and" she winked at Mike Flynn -"courage to climb out on top of 10 card tables." "All right. Hiss Donovan, have your fun." Ted tried to make bis vole sound stern and business like. "What's this high-powered sales Job yon wanted to tee me about?" Kay explained, told him about her father, his successful patent and his dreams for an all-purpose cleaner. If Tim Donovan was sure Wondrosoap was good, it would sell, provided it was backed with a good sales campaign. She wanted to know if he was willing to give it a trial. "And what do I get out of this?" Ted demanded. Kay glanced at Flynn and Goldberg. "You can have $25 a week and S cents commission on evarv can of Wondrosoap you sell" Flynn ana uoiaDerg smuea "or you can have a quarter interest in the business and take the same risks I do. Ill put up the cash. I've got 400." The - smite underwent ouiek transformation, became a frowa. -lurae," Flynn broke in, "you can't be giving away your busi ness like this" "You heard my offer." Kay waited. "I'll take it-the 25 per cent of the business, no salary." Ted stuck out his hand. "Have your lawyers draw us a contract well sign it tomorrow." . KAY was waiting for Ted the came down the dusty road to the factory. She led him through the plant At the mixing vat, somehow his hand brushed hers. She flushed. "There are raw materials in the storehouse, to make another mil lion cans of Wondrosoap,' Kay said quickly. "At least so Mr. Goldberg says. I don't know the formula, or the methods of mixing it, but Hans Stadt will know. He was Dad's chemist He'll be back from Texas soon and we can start production again. However, we wont need to right away. There's plenty in the warehouse." She led the way. "What does this stuff look like?" Ted lifted a box from the stacked rows, pulled off a board, extracted a can. He twisted off the lid. He dug some of the stuff out with his fingers, rubbed it into the palm of his hand. "Looks like a grease but it doesnt feel like it." He wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "Look! It doesnt leave a stain. You'd never believe there was anything on that handkerchief." "It will clean metal, too," Kay reminded him. "Try some on this doorknob." The knob was dusty, blackened by grimy hands. Ted applied the cleaner, wiped it off again. The metal gleamed like sew brass. "You've got something here, Kay!" He grinned broadly. . TJACX in the office, Ted enfhusl- astically outlined his sales campaign. "If you have a product that you want to put on the market with a bang, how would you do it, Miss Donovan?" . VWhy, I'd advertise : tt, ' of course." "Suppose you want to create interest in it create a demand" Ted was thinking aloud. "You'd use teaser ads. That's it, daily teasers. We can start with 'W.' Next day we'll use Wo,' then Won until we've finally spelled out 'Wondrosoap.' Then we'll tell the customers what it is and what it can do. Boy, will we blast them off their feett We'll have them standing in line to buy Won drosoap, and dealers howling for more. It's a cinch." Kay wasn't so enthusiastic. "That's a wonderful idea," she admitted, "but we can't afford a big advertising campaign. That would cost more than we can spend. I've only $400 and I have to live on that" Both of them stared at the floor. Ted lighted a cigaret The drone of the electric fan was the only sound. Then Ted's grin returned as he caught sight of the news paper Kay had thrown at Flynn the night before, still lying in the corner. "Honey, where do people go when they want to get newspaper advertising for the least money?' Kay ignored the "Honey" and answered, "I haven't the slightest idea." "Where you went when you wanted to find , me. Where Flynn and MacLeod and Gold berg went to trace you. Where we both went to find Jobs. In the classified section. It's a cinch." Kay laughed Wondrosoap was on its way. ' (To Bo OonUtwd) r v - vsaaaaw V1 " ''vk - 1 1 a MINISTER CHURCHILL VISITS ICELAND Accompanied by a U. S. Marine! eft).
