Flynn -"courage to climb out on

"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 heard my offer." Kay

"I'll take it-the 25 per cent

stuck out his hand. "Have your

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. '
