Business World Develops Strange Yule Characters By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-Deck the desks with bought of holly, and put plastic evergreen tree on the filing cabinet. vSanta is on his way to visit the buiness world. 'Christmas conies but once year. This is probably just right for the average office or factory If it came more often, many a firm might' find It hard to sur vive. .For the yuletide spirit does strange thirgs to the usual busi ness routine, which ordinarily doesn't embrace such problems as where to hang the mistletoe, It also does strange things to the hired hands' who people the realm of the typewriter and dictating machine. Here are a few of the cast of Christmas characters you'U prob ably find in your own office The senior vice president for years he never has been known to speak to anyone except the president and the chairman of the board. But each Christmas he meticulously sends every employe a creeling card signed in his name by his secretary. If you thank him in person for the card, he looks at you as if you had just landed from Mars. The joyful imbiber All morn ing he nips from bottled spirits hidden in his locker. He spends his afternoons sitting at his desk humming seasonal carols all alone. On Jan. 2nd, he sets out to look for a new job. t .The tightwad Romeo during most of the year he takes turns trying to romance every stenog rapher in the office. The day af ter Thanksgiving he starts pick ing quarrels with each of them so the only girl he'll have to buy a Christmas present for is his mother. ' The all-for-one organizer He has his secretary shop for his presents, then gets the supply room to wrap and address them, the mail room to stamp them free, and the office boy to carry them to the post office. His theory is that at Christmas the organiza tion should work for the organiza tion man. The do-unlo-others realist If you sent him a card last year, ha erases your signature, signs bis own name and mails it back to you this year, in an office envelope. The self-Diotectuig receptionist She doesn't take any chances oi being overlooked by Santa. On Dec. 1 she hangs a long stocking from the front of her desk. This is a gentle hint to salesmen that if they want to get in to see the purchasing agent they'd better drop a little token of crisp folding green into the kitty. The sentimental zealot He duns everybody in the place for contributions to a dozen private charities. "If we want to save Af rica, why not start now by send ing toys to Hottentots," he pleads. He never puts in any of his own dough, but becomes a philan thropist on your money. , The bon vivant "Let s don t have the office Christmas party on Friday," he urges. "Let's start in on Monday and keep it going all week." The thrifty boss He sends every employe a letter of appre ciation for his work, and a lu cent ball point pen with the firm's name on it. Privately he passes the word around that if business improves everyone can look for 'a little bigger token next Christ mas." By this he means they can M expect a longer letter and a 25 cent pen. Look around your own office. Do you recognize any of these Christmas characters includ ing maybe yourself?
