concise, businesslike communications

Barker's interest was SO great in this

compelled to write a personal letter COM

improved office staff and methods Also
he made delicate inquiry as to the per-
sonality of the Lady of the Labels. The

Senorita Gamboa herself wrote in reply
to all his questions. First she gave him
an outline Of the daily life of the busy
little community; that was followed by
prettily worded thanks for all that Senior
Barker had dons in the way of advanc-
ing prosperity to them. Finally she
gave him the information for which he
hungered. He read the paragraph over
a second time.
