Widest and newest spot,
closed to the general public, is
up in Harlem. Weird orgies are
Staged-for a price-a steep
price, but ham and eggs OF fried
chicken are served without eX-
ira charge. Bored Broadway
has been trekking up to the
place and been relieved Of its
boredom, but some of us have
discovered that boredom is
sometimes preferable to nausea.
I can't describe what goes on
nor would I even if permitted
and the only reason I mention
the place at all is something that
was called to my attention. The
men patrons are usually the
first to want to leave in disgust
the women linger on, open
eyed, amazed, but eager to see
more and more. Ugh!
A lad came to my house the
other day trying to interest me
in some preparation guaranteed
to kill moths. He was a reader.
He knew me as a columnist and
accordingly spent less Of his
time trying to induce me to buy
his preparation than in ac'
quainting me with his great am
bitiOn to be a newSpaperman.
Somehow, 1 felt very kindly to-
ward him and placed an order
with him for which 1 shall prob
ably be chided by the head Of
my household when she returns.
The eagerness of the boy
brought to mind another chap,
who, back in 1919, unable to get
a Job on any newspaper, finally
lined up with some 30 other fel.
lows in a little place on West
Nineteenth Street, and was
made a full-fledged salesman
for new type of paper drinking
cup. The drawing account was
to be SIS a week-a sum which
looked mighty huge those days.
The manager assembled the
lucky ones among us and spoke.
He explained the great future
in store for us. There were
hundreds of thousands OF OF
fices and business establish
ments in New York. 1t would
be easy to convince them that
ordinary drinking glasses were
a menace to health, what with
all the loose germs floating
around. Paper drinking cups
were the solution-particularly
the type manufactured by this
company. For every gross we
sold, 10 cents profit would
accrue to us.
It should be simple matter
to sell 500 to 1000 gross a
week. So this fellow went from
office to office peddling those
paper drinking cups. He sold
something like a half million
cups which resolved into, I've
forgotten hows many gross
but not enough, evidently. for
he was called in by the sales
manager who shook his head
wearily and murmured, "Sobol,
I don't think you were cut out
to be a salesman Of paper
drinking cups. You don't seem
to be interested in your work.
I'd suggest you try another
field" Which did.

-By Louis SObOI

AS a matter of fact, I got
a job the very next week as a
correspondent for the Charles
Williams Stores in Brooklyn
salary, $50 a week. This was
and still may be for all I know
"a mail order house. My job
was to read complaints and
answer them. Much of the
work was lightened for me
there was something like 100
form letters devised to cover
every type of complaint and all
I had to do was reach for A-19
or C-64 and there you were.
Unfortunately, I permitted
my sympathies to run away
with my better judgment and
when some illiterate old woman
in Kentucky wrote in that her
poor Woodworking husband had
bought a pair of shoes nine
months ago and now the Soles
were completely worn away,
would we please return her a
pair Of shoes on the $2.19 she
had paid, I would not only
have the new pair of shoes
sent but occasionally the $2.19
as we'll. This eventually, was
not good business, so the man.
ager called me to his desk one
day and said, "Sobol, I don't
think you we're cut out to be
correspondent for a mail order
house. You don't seem to be
interested in your work. Ia
suggest you try another field"
Which I did.
I went to work as a tie sales
man in Gimbels. I was deter
mined to make good because
my wife had informed me, in a
rash confidential moment, that
I had better begin scraping to-
gether a few pennies to buy a
bassinet. I don't think any,
body worked harder trying to
convince customers that no we'll
ordered household was complete
without at least a dozen as
sorted ties from my counter in
Gimbel'S. Once a chap came in
from my home town-a fellow
who had run off and married a
girl with whom I had been quite
smitten.
He seemed quite delighted to
find me selling ties. 81 See," he
remarked, "yOu didn't make a
go of the newspaper business.
You're where you belong now"
So got into an argument with
him while customers crowded
around waiting to be served.
The buyer came along and asked
me to please see HIM after
hours. / saw him. "SObOl," he
said, II don't think you were
cut out to be a tie salesman.
I'd suggest you try another
field" I did.
Just as I am assembling my
notes on what appeared to be
a gay and general melee at the
Lido, Saturday night, a letter
arrives advising me not to be-
lieve, pan-leeze, that Aviator AL
Williams socked Huey Long a
couple of weeks ago. He most
certainly did not, insists the let
ter. One man hit Long and the
writer of the letter knows who
that was-but he can't tell me
just yet.
