chin.
After this experience Prof went from
bad TO worse. But he didn't remain N
the Insurance Business long. As an in
surance Salesman he had to comb his
hair, wear collar, and eat with a knife
and fork, and Prof was against all
such superstitions. So he got his hair
clipped and went in for the agricultural
machinery game.
With Proffs bumper crop of knowl-
edge of the domestic and foreign mar
kets 1t was M mystifying trick for
him to land another Road job. In fact
during the next few years he had a
dozen different Jobs. From one of them
he resigned. But that was no disgrace
Had the job paid more. Prof would
have stuck to 1t until he got fired. Or
IL they didn't fire him, he would have
stuck to 1t until he had worked sew
enty-seven years and been put on the
pension list, and then he would have
sat back and drawn his good old 50 a
month until comrade death slipped him
the nod in a year or so.
Some of these jobs that Prof held
down with such distinction took him
clear around the world Others took
him only as far as Hoboken before his
Expense Money gave out. But through
them Prof got a knowledge of almost
every kind of American goods. OF
course he didn't get 1t all in one job
1t took several.
For instance one Firm-a New York
Export House-sent Prof. TO the Orient
with only $50 different lines. That still
left few good American lines tina,
Prof was not representing, and was
bad oversight on the part of the
New York House Prof could Just as
well have handled a few hundred more

But Prof wasn't kicking. lie was
