The Drink . Young Business Man Had
to Have Before Lunch. p
In New York city there Is a mar
who once paid $4,000 for a cocktail.
He did not know it then. and he never
will know it unless he happens t. read
this story. '..-
A certain prosperous manufacturing
company needed Il new departmental
manager. The salary was $4,000 a
year. The officers of the company
considered a great many candidates
and ut last decided to offer the position
to a clever young man Of unusual bust
ness ability. He seemed to be exactly
the man for that particular place. Tho
president and general manager invited
the young man to lunch with them ut
a downtown club. %Ostensibly to talk
over a less important business matter.
They wanted TO "look him over just
once more
The man met them at the appointed
hour, and the president. anxious to
make the OCCASION a pleasant one. or
defed an elaborate luncheon. The
waiter was a long time In bringing
the first course. and the guest began
to appear i'll at ase He seemed alb
sentminded and uninterested In the
conversation. He twisted about in his
chair and tapped his fingers n%ervously
upon the table. Finally he turned to-
ward the president and said almost
desperately, "Would you mind very
much II I ordered n cocktail?" Then
he flushed a little and offered a laugh.
ing apology for making the request.
The other men exchanged surprised
and significant glances, but they called
the waiter and ordered the cocktail.
When it came the guest drank It ca
gerly. In u few moments he had be-
come another mantle nan Of keen
vision and quick mind. who could be
so useful in their great business. There
was no more p~reoccupation In his man.
ner, no shifting about in his chair. He
was alert. eager, clear headed.
But as the luncheon went on neither
the president o the manager men,
toned the real object Of the interview.
Each was thinking the matter over Sc
%riously. and neither could be sure Of
the others secretly formed opinion.
The situation became awkward. Final.
" the president excused himself on
the pretense Of going into the library
to speak to a friend who had just en-.
tered. But after speaking to his friend
he went straight to the desk and wrote
q message on a telegraph blank. he
cav the message to a uniformed at
tendant and went back to the dining
room.
In q few minutes a page brought
telegram to the manager. who read It
hurriedly. while the president finished
telling their guest about a shooting
trip in Maine. This Is what the tele-
gram said:
The Job Is too big for a boozer. We
cant run our business by cocktail power.
