WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUdrlARYS'
OFFICE BOY
The boss told me Saturday night
that if be beard any one say I was a
good-hearted boy I might go home
and stay there. "When they can't say
anything good about you," he wont
on to explain, "they'll say you are a
good-hearted fellow, which is just
about the same as saying you are no
account." I spunked up a bit and
said, "What am I to be when I'm not
good-hearted?" He came right back
at me and says : "I want yoii to be
known as a hustler, and when they
see you wheel up in front of their
place I want them to know that their
order has arrived right on time, and
that it will open up just as they
expected it would when they bought It,
without any omissions or com
missions ; well, Bir, there are certainly
no commissions or tips of any kind
on this job, and not much chance for
any omissions for the reason that the
old man watches us too closely. He
is good natured, all right, if every
thing goes right, but if anything goes
wrong, be makes it right and that's
no fairy tale. You should see what a
lot of home product we are soiling
now. Dallas bread, butter, cookies
and oakes give perfect satisfaction
and the boss takes pleasure in selling
them.
