Gallagher brought his voice to the
Curb enclosure, and began doing
business. He hasn't been off the job
a single day since then, for even
when he goes off to Maine, as he
does occasionally for a fishing ex-
petition, his business goes on with
out interruption his organization hav-
ing been perfected to this point of
efficiency.
1t wasn't long after Bill Gallagher
made his advent on the Curb that
people began to sit up and take
notice of him. They had to. In the
first place, they couldn't get away
from the sound of that magaphone
voice. In the second place, Bill
quickly began to do stunts that
brought him into prominence. The
old method of sending and receiving
slips containing orders was too slow.
uallagher invented the deaf and
dumb signaling system which is now
in general use on the Curb. The
first day he began to cut antics with
fingers to nose and ears, by holding
his arms or fingers this way and
that, and generally to use the sign
language, the Curb thought he was
crazy. 1t was not long, though, un-
til it tumbled to the fact that Bill
was using a sign language for COM
munieating with his order clerk, and
that he was about five to ten min
utes ahead of the rest of the brokers
with his business. Today every

communication between Office and
Curb, and business moves more ex-
peditiously than ever before.
Bill Gallagher has kept on doing
stunts ever since he has been on the
Curb. He once had the distinction
of checking nearly 100000 out of
bank in one day when his balance
was scarcely that many thousands.
1t was a sublime piece of nerve; and
the president of the bank sent for the
man to look him over. He looked.

mere is another story told of Gal
that shows the ealibre of the
man. In one day he executed a

suit of one days operations for the
account of others. The money was
