Julian must be swept off his feet at the start, be
fairly cowed into submission So Fayant did not go
Uncle Julian until he ready to descend upon
him in force; that with all his copy pictures layouts,
dummies, type specimens, list of mediums cost estl-
mates etc. complete and with one of his bright young
partners to help support the whole.
A T the start it appeared if Uncle Julian was inn
pressed At all events, he undoubtedly little
bewildered But he set himself patiently to wading
through the of matter literary and artistic and as
he proceeded he gradually found himself. Did they
really expect him to pay out all that money for adver-
Using space? He knew this paper good and that
magazine worse he knew it because he never read
those publications himself. And look at all the costly
space that the ads they had prepared would waste!
Why, he knew that most of these ads could contain
twice many words and yet take up more space!
However, what seemed to pain Uncle Julian partlcu-
lary that enough attention had been paid to
the glorious history of the Hurry Simmons Manufac-
turing Cohow this great house had steadily increased
its sales and the esteem of mankind by It's IN
variable policy of making honest goods and giving its
all the best of it. And where the picture
of @our factory?
@Look here. Mr.. Simmons" at length exclaimed Fay
ant care we going to sell the Hurry & Simmons Man
ufacturng Co., or just machine that it manufactures
Anyway, Uncle Julian thought that the struggle OF
this great house to perfect great delivery wagon
far from being brought should be- and when
argued with him that the publics interest IN his houses
that was that printing could be done Rochester much
cheaper than indicated in the Fayant Advertising
Agencys estimate So they debated the question as to
whether printing just printing and whether good
printing wasn't of the ways really to impress the
public with ones standing and Importance Well, of
course Uncle Julian would have to think it all over and
consult with his associates and for three days, off and
on, the battle ragged.
Once in this interval Fayant saw Josephine Parmele;
but all he said in reply her friendly inquiry was "Oh,
yes, about your Uncle Juiandedr Uncle Julan!' And
he swallowed hard, while she laughed and said:
Follow him up, Bob-you know I'm from Missouri"
EVEN the office boy, Fayant thought, consulted
- about this advertising campaign. STILL by dint of
making concessions in connection with unessentals,
Fayant able to make progress; and he was begin
ming indulge belief that the thing could be put over,
when toward the close of the third day. there came up
the matter of the follow-up letters.

AS for the second letter inclosed by Josephine it
simply read:

hand and wrote to Josephine Parrnee among other
things:

Moreover she sent Fayant all the other letters to
her uncle from this Uppaze that she could get hold Of
if she had to paste them together after they had
been torn up As she explained with cutting
to Fayant, he might need them in his business Stripped
of its salutaton and complimentary subscription, the
first of these additional letters read

As it is-it costs half quarter and smokes like half

Wouldn't you do it that way?
And the letter that followed the foregoing:

But the workmanship goes into dydaUing quality.
"A woman is only woman-but good cigar is

My cigars burn evenly-freely-and hold long ash.

Well after six or seven of these letters had been for
warded by Josephine Fayant, there morning
when he teiephoned to his office that he would be
down, and from the telephone hurried to the Grand
Central Station to catch fast train for
Rochester.
XIHY, Bob!" exclaimed Josephine,
~ along toward evening she descended
from the upper regions Of her home to greet
him. "This certainly is surprised"
"Yes," said Fayant, Il thought it would
be- And he explained that, unable to rest
longer under the sting of his defeat, he had
up to take another crack at Uncle
Juan anyway, am I invited to dinner?"
he asked with old friends nonchalance,
and she said he

end Of the table, Daughter Josephine sat
one side with the famly's guest, and on the
other side Uncle Julian. social occa-
sion of this kind should Of course, be kept
entirely free from faint of sordid business.
Still, just before the coffee was served, Fay
ant made bold to say:

mention 1T, seven dollars.

body else, visbly astonished.

Fayant glanced at his partner, to meet
glance coming from him; and it was as if
despair met to reinforce despair. Yet did
Fayant once again grid himself for battle.
"Can anything be a waste OF money that
brings your dollar back along with COM
panion?" he asked.
"That's all fight, said Uncle Julian; "but
if we don't sell these people the first time
we write, or maybe the second, we won't sell
them at all
@May | ask, Mr.. Simmons" said Fayant,
@why you are so sure of that?"
IL never read circular letters, anyway"
said Uncle Julian; "but know that nobody
could sell me anything by Fostering the lite
out of me. It's against human nature. And
all you have strung out here in dozen let
tiers could easily be said in one, or two at
the most. Isn't that so?"
ayes, Sir, that is undoubtedly the fact.
"Well, then, does it stand to reason that
we should pay twenty-four cents postage to
say things that could all be said for two or
four centso And there's the cost of the paper
and the envelops. You forgot about that.
didn't you? You see, young man, added
Uncle Julian triumphantly, 3when you have
had my years Of experience in business you
will learn to watch out for these little things.
/ always have said it is the little leaks that
sink the ship. Take care of the pennies,
and the dollars will take care Of themselves.
Emotion held Fayant dumb while Uncle
Julian prattled on. And out of this emotion
came to him a vivid realization of the fact
that no man could be told anything for which
his experience or existing knowledge had not
prepared him. At the same time he realized
that, if he permitted Uncle Julian to have
his way as regarded the follow-up, it would
not only put crimp in the campaign he
(Fayantl had planned, but would establish a
precedent that would make it impossible for
him to deal with this hard-headed and close
listed man in the future.
So on the ground of the follow-up Fayant
drove in stakes for permanent encamp-
