NEW YORK.-In one of the large

there are I'VE partners. Two of them
have not spoken to each other except
over the telephone for twenty years.
Their private omtes are not more
than twenty feet apart and they see
each other a score Of times a day, but
they meet and pass without the slight
est sign of recognition. If 1t becomes
necessary In the course Of business
for them to communicate with each
other they do SO either by calling a
stenographer and debating a memo
randum or else by being connected
on the telephone over their private
line. They never speak face to face.
A quarter of century ago these
i've partners were young men with
small capital. All Of them had been
employees of the same concern, but
they had their own ideas and believed
In them. So they put their money to-

Partners for Years But Never Speak

each was specialist who did his part

the high road to fortune. 1t was just
at this time that these two partners
fell out 1t arose from a trifiing diff
ference their wives had. Naturally
each partner. through loyalty to his
spouse, took her side, and the quarrel
grew so bitter that 1t eliminated in
blows being exchanged. Then they
vowed they never would speak to each
other again. The other three partners
saw that If this course were pursued
it would spell ruin. After a lengthy
conference, in which the two dis.
putants were called in separately, the
proposition was put to them that they
should agree to remain with the firm,
of which they were essentially i'm

business matters and then either in
writing or by telephone.
This is the plan that has been fol

pursued to the end. When these two
enemies talk over the telephone they
converse with all the polite amiability
of old business associates; they dis
cuss prices, business propositions and
the various problems with which they
