Ifow Doth the Busy Bandit Improve Each Shining Hour? Attovcr automobiles have been sub- jected to severecriticiam by those who contend that all hand-holding contests should be held on the haircloth sofa, they have come in for nothing but the The gentlemen in this organization realize their true merit. Before the odorous advent of the automobile a payroll robber had a tough time snatching an existence. ‘The work was hard and he was con- tinuously faced by the possibility of being ostracized from society for a term of from ten to fifteen years with a recommenda- tion of fifteen. In those days a man had to strive for years, perhaps a lifetime, before he made enough out of the game to retire, voluntarily. But the automobile has completely revolutionized the business of payroll banditry. It is quite possible that no present-day profession pays larger divi- Coat Room Attendant (frigid- ly)—I positively never make mistakes, sir. Of course, I'm certain this is your coat! Long-suffering Patron (with a sigh of relief)—My, that’s fine! I was afraid I still owed you one more payment dends for the amount of time and effort required. It is nice, clean work. All that the operator has to do is to take up the spoor of a bank messenger and follow it until he is in a position to deliver a short, direct sales talk.

The organiza- tion is very progressive, having offices in all the large cities. It is now working out a plan for inaugurating © Roll Week,” which will be held once a month to stimulate business. ‘This is also ex- pected to simplify the work. In taking this stride which, in all probabil will raise the profession to a higher’ plane than any other, not excepting oil stock promotion, officials of the organization will not be unmindful of the impetus gained from the automobile. No matter what the degree of prosperity attained, the aid of the gas-propelled vehicle will not be forgotten. For, on the first day of each “Pay Roll Week” the chair in charge of the morning “pep” meeting. after invoking the continued goodwill of Ali Baba, will ask all members present to do a solemn salaam Detroitward, and a word of praise for the motor manu- cturer.
