HEARD IN THE LOBBIES

People who repose too muCh conf
dence in their fellow men are gullible.

suspicious. Betweens gullibility and
eternal suspicion. the wise man. if

gullible person has this advantage over
a suspicious one. While being stuffed
with absurdities and untruths, like a
Thanksgiving turkey with oysters. he
takes in by chance many of the most
beautiful truths. and has, unwittingly,
I many of the most beautiful experiences
life offers. In the meantime the sus-
picious one-gets absolutely nothing.
He IS not exploited, but neither does

part of the time keeping the bars up

Mr. j. :. Clark is a good fellow, but
as hard a man to interview as ever
came to the Salt river valley If he
were as bashful about the ROYAL type
writer as he is about himself he would
never have made his record as a sales
man. He talks freely about his ma
chine. but says nothing about himself
He displays the good points Of the
Royal, but keeps his own ideas secret.
When asked his name he looks up as
though the questioner is on the point
of robbing him Of its goodness He
tells his friends that with the single
exception Of the great plant of the
Curtis Publishing company at Phila-
delphia, the factory of the ROYAL Type
writer company at Hartford gives the
people who work in it more light, more
air and greater comfort than any 9TH
er factor i'm the United States. This is
true. 1t does. But where he is con-
cerned, he lets in no light at all. He
is as unlike the Royal factory as pos
sible This is also true. He is. But
laying factory, gullibility, suspicious.
light, air, and comfort all aside, Mr..
Clark is a good fellow, and a splendid
salesman. He stops at the Hotel Ford.
Mr. Frank. Feusier of the Frank
Feusier wholesale jobbing house, left for
the coast, where he goes to buy a car
load of canned salmon and weinerwurst.
He is well and popularity known as
Little Golden Loks."
Mr.. Fred Mcnamara of Los Angeles
travels for one of the largest dry goods
houses in the east, and business is so
insufferably good these days that he
has to split his line, and employ two
or three statesmen to help him out. AL
though his territory is vast, including,
as it does. Arizona, New Mexico,
southern California and old Mexico, he
covers it thoroughly, but not as Her
cules cleaned the Aegean stables. Not
all by his lonesome. He hires some
body else to do il, and in the mean
time he rests up little. Mr.. McNa-
mara stops at the Commercial hotel.
Before grand opera stars 60 on the
stage they hum in their dressing rooms
and run the gamut to test the tone and
quality of their precious voices. Before
Mr.. G.. l.. Moselle leaves his room at
the Stag he also huns a little. He
does il to strengthen the chords |
which may be used for longer periods !
Of talking after a short vocal exercise. |
1t is understood that Moselle wine was
named after a remote ancestor of his. |
The present Mr. Moselle is connected |
with the Arizona Life Insurance COM
pany. and he is regarded by every
member of the company as a salesman |
of sterling ability.
Among the best known hotel men of !
southern Arizona is f. ]. Mccarthy, |
proprietor of the Hotel Edwards at /
Maricopa. He came to Phoenix few
days ago. and registered at the Hotel
Ford. Although hotel people are hard |
to suit i'm other hotels, as a general |
thing. and pick more faults than a !
Mr.. Mccarthy says the |
Ford is good enough for him, and he |
states that Maricopa will have an OPP |
portunity to see whether she can get |
along without him for a while.
L. H. Hamilton sells Oliver type
writer's. and remembering this. it is
not outrageous to think he has been |
nick named "Oliver Ham," There is
something poetic about this name.
The word oliver recalls his vocation
and it serves to remind everyone that
he sold more than one hundred ma
chimes in six months time, which. is a
good record, to say the least The /
word Ham is particularly expressive
for Hamilton. and when
the two are coupled together into coli
yer Ham" they have a dignified sound
that is eminently suited to the man.
He stops at the Stag.
