each salesman was bent upon winning
the watch. but the contest finally mar
rowed down to two of them--L. II. De

On Friday. january 30. Mr. DcCraaf

AR Wright was but one behind, he hav
ing sold sixteen cars hui there were

OF the statesmen would produce one or
two extra sales at the last minute.
When the hour OF i o'clock arrived
M DeGraaf dug down in his pocket
and pulled out a large roll Of retail
order forms, laid them down on the
desk before Mr.. kaehler and said :

looked through q number Of his poc1-
cts and laid down total of six orders
each one accompanied by II 800 de-
post check, and inquired as to how
many he would need to win. Upon be-
ing told that he would need four ad-
ditional orders in order 10 tie DeGraaf
and five TO win, he stated that he still
had three additional orders in his pocs
ct, which had been given him by Gus

additional orders that he needed to
win, was the fact that Saturday was
not long enough. Sure enough, on the
following Monday, two OF his pros
pective customers called up over the
telephone and wanted to know why
he had not been around TO secure their
orders on Saturday, as he had agreed
to do.
MIR. Kaehler was probably as much
