Jackson 4 Co. I've been following
their advertising and / am surprised
how well they executed the campaign
l mapped out"
And, perhaps, had Jackson & Co
known what an exacting critic they had
In their former advertising manager,
they might have felt much pride In
their publicity department. For the
soldiers few spare hours were devot-
ed to a minute perusal Of all media
available at the camp recreation build
ings in his search for the announce
ments of Jackson & Co. His verdict,
confided to the girl, was grudgingly
given, but honest. He had to admit
the work was well done.
Rehabilitation was under rapid way
and in every community could be found
familiar faces belonging to bodies
strangely unfamiliar, with their broad
chests and husky shoulders and strong
biceps. AS Sophia leaned from her
window, her ear caught the strain OF
whistled melody, it's lifting notes In
two-step time seeming to shout, I'm
back. I'm back again.
AS fash she was on the porch into
the arms of a khaki-clad figure, and
despite eyes dimmed with tears, they
looked delightfully."- happy. Charming
nothings told by every soldier who
has returned after years absence to
the one girl Of his acquaintance,
marked their reunion; and the cuckoo
sleepily warbled two o'clock before
Langley commenced to say goodnight.
And tomorrow I'll be back on the
old job" were his last words as he ten
derby kissed her. jackson & Co. will
be mighty glad this war is over"
But as Mr.. Jackson, senior member
and guiding hand of Jackson & Co,
goodnaturedly placed his arm about
the shoulders of his soldier-employee,
Langley was not able to determine
whether or not his return was as well
come as he had anticipated.
"Well, well, how did you like it?"
queried Mr.. Jackson, offering cigar
"Never got to go across, did your
NO" came the answer in cha
grined tone as he gazed at the twin
chevrons Of silver on his left sleeve.
"Guess they thought Jackson Co.
needed me too much"
Langley inwardly complimented
himself on the clever manner in which
he had brought up the purpose of his
visit. He hoped Mr.. Jockson would
follow the lead. He did.
"Why, to tell you the truth, Lang
ley" the elder man hesitated, 81 hate
to think of losing the very able sue
cessor we secured for your position"
Successor !" murmured Langley In
establishment.
But 1 have some important sales
promotion work l should like to have
you undertake. First come and meet
our new advertising manager"
Langley arose and as he smoothed
out the wrinkles in his uniform meek
ly followed into that section Of the Of
fee over which he had reigned.
miss Brentwood, may present Mr..
Langley?"
"Sophia ~ exclaimed Langley.
"How do you do, Leo?" the usurper
responded with contagious laughter at
the young mans discontinue.
Mr.. Jackson cleared his throat rasp-
ingly. "You know each other?"
"I'll say we do" shouted Langley
with reckless disregard for the office
slang restrictions. "Mr. Jackson" he
gulped, this tiny bundle of brains has
shown me up. The job is hers"
Mr.. Jackson winked in wise way
at the girl. SIT seems to me, Langley,
you'd make mighty fine advertising
manager if you had a bundle like that
with you all the time" And in con-
tinued wisdom he exited.
Langley held out his hands in an elo-
quent gesture. Dearest Sophia, will
you be my bundle for all times?"
And Sophia said she would.
