Il got into the deal in a funny
way" Mrs. Tupper continued unper-

building when he died. Not a big
place. I've been renting it to a guy
named Katz. He's been making small
electrical novelties. He's nice little
man, with wife and six children. But
the slump last year, after what he'd
been through, just about put him on

Mrs. Tupper leaned forward on her

woman to appreciate the sales oppor-

it's the other way around. Men fall
for gadgets that women, instinctively,
know are more bother than they are
good. Cooney, do you know where
hundreds of thousands of single busi-

business men and women living in
small apartments, wash their stock

Good Heavens, Mrs. T.! I'm

Cooney. But not after they hear about
