Officials of the Kankakee Inter- State Fair, which will be held September 14 to 18, claim that with paved reads running into Kankakee from all parts of the state, bad weather canmn spell the big show thla yaaa, * the habit which Mr. Greer had oi calling the whole office force Into his office on Monday morning for a heartto- heart talk was a very nice habit Indeed. "When I write a dealer In favor of Proposition A," said Mr. Greer, "and tell the dealer that I am enclosing Proposition A, and then there is no enclosure, what does the dealer think ef us? "What does the dealer think of the He Plus Ultra Washing Machine corporation, Miss Button?" What, Indeed. Miss Button spoke what was on her mind What she had been thinking about was the price of hats, and what she thought was that the price of hats was too much for a girl who had to pay board at home out of twenty-two dollars a week. And the words whieh she had heard herself say to the saleswoman popped out of her: "Too much." / Mr. Greer, mistaking her blander for wit, beamed happily. "That's right, Miss Button. Too orach--too much that Is not good about us. Always enclose the enclos ores. We need intelligence in thla bealness. To speak In the vernacular, we must, each and every one of us, use the old beei}." He paused and wrinkled his foreheed. "Oh, yes, and I have a happy thought The next young lady that uses the bean In some constructive way for the good of the company shall have a reward. What shall it be? Let me think. ... A new hat I Well-- ah--I think that will be all this morning. Tou may stay for dictation, Miss Button." Miss Button scurried for her notebook and pencil. Mr. Greer dictated- At last he came to the bottom letter In the pile--and as he read this letter, he frowned and swore softly. Then he burst forth In a torrent "After all we have done for you . . . special demonstration by our own people at no cost to you . . . and* then to have you switch to wholly Inferior line like Washo-Cleano . . . machine which has been thrown out of thousands of homes. . . Mr. Greer snapped it off, finally, with an abrupt "yours truly," and reached for his hat "Meeting at noon," he said. "Another meeting at two-thirty. Won't be back. Sign all but the last with my rubber stamp and dictated but not read. Leave the last one on my desk --see that It's here by the time I get here in the morning." He was gone. Bessie Button strolled to her typewriter and began to pick at It discouragedly. She wrote: "After I all we have done for your special dem | onstratlon . . . homes wretchedly constructed of inferior material." Hold on, this wasn't about homes, but about washing machines. She tried again. The closing bell rang. Better, maybe, in the morning. But In the morning it was worse. Mr. Greer strode by nodding to the office force. She followed him Into his office to confess her failure and ask him to dictate the letter over. "I don't see that letter, that long letter, on my desk, Miss Button." "No." She choked at that, could say no more. "I believe--" he paused and looked at her, appralslngly. "I'm going to ask you a question. Did you read last Bight's paper?" "Yes," said Bessie Button. "Tou read last night's paper, and then what did yon do with my letter?" "I tore It up." "Tou tore It up. Good! Good I Couldn't be better. Call 'em In. Call 'em all ,ln. We're suing t» hava a taeetlng." She called them In. "Testerday morning I dictated a strong letter to Miss Button, addressed te an agent who had announced his intention of throwing out our line In favor of the Washo-Cleano line, our strongest competitor, and I may say te you now, a machine enjoying cer tain selling points of value, protected by patents which I have been unable to buy or to get round. At noon yes terday I heard that the Washo-Cleano people were In financial straits. I went over to see them at once, made them an offer, they took me up on It. I got the news into the late afternoon edl tlons. And now, here's where Miss Button comes In." "Miss Button reads the papers. She read what had happened. Instantly she sensed that I would not now, being the owner of Washo-Cleano, want to write anything disparaging about Washo-Cleano, and so this morning. Instead of leaving the letter on my desk, what did she do? What did she do? She used the old bean. She tore that letter up.
