Abbie told him: Bits gets control of the

Hooey! Remember there are only few shares

And does he put on palaver! All about

And the new order of things in business.
He stresses that. Employees should be part

labor. So every employee of the store, from
the humblest porter up. is going to become
full partner in the company. Every little
hfteen-dollar -a-week kid will be allowed to
put two or three dollars out of her pay enve-

''Or. put it another way. he makes about
ten dollars share on the thirty or forty thou
