Shimko pulled out full cigar case
Whereat lamps eye kindled, and be
licked his lips in anticipation. But
after Shimko had selected a dark per
fecto he closed the case deliberately
and replaced it in his breast pocket.
"A business man must got to got
gumption.' he said to the disappointed
lamp, land If you think you could got
partner just by bringing him into the
store here and showing him the stock
and fixtures which you got it you are
making big mistake"

camp protested, with theayter also.
Shimko evidenced his disgust by
putting vigorously at his cigar
'sYOn 81 no inst liko whole LOT of 9Th
er people, lamp" he said. You are
always willing to spend money before
you make it. Meiselson comes in here
and sees you only got small stock of
piece goods, understand me, and you
couldn't afford to keep no help, and
then on top of that yet you would take
him out and blow him. Naturally he
right away gets the idee you are spend
ing your money foolishly instead Of
putting it into your business. and the
whole thing is off,"
camp shrugged impotently.
What could l do. Mr. Shimko?" he
asked. Il got here a small stock of
goods, l know, but that's just the rea
son why | want partner"
And that's just the reason why you
wouldn't get one" Shimko declared.
"A small stock Of piece goods you
couldn't help, camp; but if you let that
Teller come into your store and find
you amt got no cutters or customers
that's your own fault
What dye mean, Mr.. Shimko?"

camp, and friend offers to bring me
a Teller with couple thousand dollars
for partner understand me. | would
go to work, understand, and get
couple cutters and engage 'em for the
afternoon. Then would turn around,
understand, and go up and see such
a Teller like Klinkowitz, which he Is
manager of that theayter on Rivington
street, and l would get him to fix up
for me half dozen young fellers3
from his theayter, which they would
come down to the store for the day,
and some Of 'em acts like customers
and others acts like clerks. Then,
when my friend brings in the Teller
with $1,000, understand me, what do
hey see? The place is full OF Gus
Omers and statesmen, and In the rear
s couple of cutters chalking lines
IN pattern papers and cutting it up
With shears. You yourself are so busy,
Understand me, you could hardly talk
| word to us. You don't want to know
nything about getting partner at all. |
What Is partner with $1,000 in a |
ushing business like you are doing 1t?
beg Of you you should take the mat |
er under consideration, but you pretty |
ear throw me out Of the store on ac-
cunt you got so much to do. At last i
ou say you would take a cup coffee
With me at o'clock. and l go away
With the $1,000 Teller, and when we
1eet again at 6 o'clock he's pretty near
razy to invest his money with you.
