The Old House
The Young Boss
and the Cheltenham
Press

ONCE upon a time land this isn't a
fairy tale) q yOungish sort Of a
chap found himself in control OF
a very old business.
The House had fine traditions and
loyal friends; its trade was immensely
respectable. but only fairly profitable.
Anybody could see that the House
was growing-grOwinG OLD.
And the new Boss was very Young.
He was younger than any Of his
Department Heads; younger than the
Star Salesman who made all the big
towns from Pittsburgh to Kansas City
and who had held his trade" for
twenty years; younger. even, than the
Advertising Manager, who was a grad
uate OF a Correspondence SchoOl-and
that's pretty young, you may be sure!
The House was conservative. Its
advertising reflected its conservatism
if such a dull product could be said
10 reflect anything.
Its catalogues were printed by the
lowest bidder (whO generally dropped
out of the game the ext year..
The shape of the catalogue had been
determined in 1875. The big pages
we're bound on the short edge; the
books were too "fioppy" to stand up
right on a shelf: too wide TO be carried
in a salesman's pocket; of a kind to
be filed" in a piReOn-hole or buried
in the literary graveyard in the bottom
drawer of a desk. The type faces were
of the design used for display" by
rural Job Prints during the Civil War;
and the paper was ut for anything
but to be printed On.
Somehow the customers kept on
buying. II had got TO be n habit with
most of them. They knew how good
were the things the House made. and
that a square deal was lone up with
each package.
They didn't mind the catalogues the
House sent them regularly ono a
year.
They were content to grow old with
the House.
But the Young Boss noticed that
some of the old customers were be-
ginning TO die. He used to write nice
letters TO the widows; the b~ookkeeper
would mail a statement TO the execu-
tors, and a red line in the ledger showed
the account had been CLOSED"
One day the telephone bell rang.
Was this the head OF the firm?
II was.
Was he Interested in making his
business GROW?
He was.
