This Job OF ours jumped up abour 6p
per cent in our estimation the day we
assembled the jury that made today s
award. That is, ve didn't do the as.
scmoling; the jury was assembled for
us By Miss Ida Gekoski, and We wish
to say right here that anybody who
needs good nssembler ought 60 get in
touch with her.
We went UP 10 Blsuner's store, at
S3-35 Market street, according to
arrangements made over the phone. and
We went up to the Office Of the Superin. /.
tendent--that's Miss Gehoski's official
title. She looked us over and said,
Feel pretty strong ttoday?' and we
said, Well, for an old man, we're III
fair shape" So she took us to
another Office and opened the door and
pushed US in.
All We could do was just 20 stand
there md blink our old eyes as though
we had suddenly looked straight into
the glare Of the sun. But Il wasnt
sunlight that was dazzling US. II vas
smiles. twelve Of EN-, and any one OF
EN- alone would have been binding.
Gee we muttered, look at the
smiles"
That's what I wanted you TO look
at, said Miss Gekoski. That's what
they are-the Blauner Smilers. We've
got plenty more Of them in the store.
Want TO see them"
There was time. twenty or more years
ago, when we could stand that sort OF
thing, but now our nerves are not what
they used TO be. And the fans who
have been following this contest will
already have realized what a shy and
retiring-not to say painfully bashfuI
person we are.
Sense Better Than Money
One thing surprised us in the line
that this jury picked.
While we were getting the group ar.
ranged for q photograph, we listened
to the conversation--you may have
noticed that there's more or less con
versstion when you ge. dozen girl,
| togetscr-and We heard one OF EN- say
something about II being unusual for {
man to be there with them.
Because. she said, men ar,
really no good in Il store except TO puJ
for what the women buy.
/ Surreptitiously, we dug down into oui
Federal Reserve pocket and found tina
we had half dollar, q quarter, tw'
! nickels, q cent. two trolley tickets anC
a latch key. So We kept quiet, for W
knew We wouldn't rate high With tina
! bunch.
! But. remarkably enough, they chos
a line that extolled good sense and W
felt that that gave us better show, TO
we at least had good sense enough I,
string the affair out and spend as mucl
time with the Blauner Smilers as W
could.
When we counted the votes cast b,
the Jury we found that the winnin
line had been written by:
