The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a job
is small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price of a satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on
job and have customer who will
come back, than to use the fiimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.

apparent to him when Captain Black
explained to him that he had no key
for that particular pair Of ornaments
and the good Dominic had visions Of
