Tobias gently guided Mr. Flubb to the Tubb suite. Quite indiffer- ently, Tobias nonchalantly reached in his coat pocket and handed Henry Flubb a check for $100,000 made payable to the Flubb Flower Pot Company. “The results of my Florida trip,” laconically commented Tobias, sti- fling a yawn. The eyes of Henry Flubb seemed about to burst from their sockets and carry the heavy glasses with them. These glasses were supported by a long black ribbon when not aiding the Flubb eyes to examine flower pots and write inspiring mottoes. Tobias, a perfect picture of indifference, list- lessly started: “The first three weeks here I couldn’t get an order. The ‘Little Eva’ Company, with lower freights from Jacksonville, was getting all the business. Wherever I called, a ‘Little Eva’ salesman followed. His car pursued mine from town to town. He followed me into restaurants. He stopped at the same hotels. I was being pretty thoroughly trailed. Then I got my big idea...” “Don’t tell me any more,” wailed Henry Flubb, “I couldn’t bear to hear it. Also I think it’s a pretty poor practical joke to hand a phony check to the president of the Flower Pot Manufacturers’ Protective Asso- ciation.” ANOTHER SELL Vicar—We still want £75 to complete our parish hall. I have tried to raise the money by every honest means possible, so now I think we must resort to a bazaar! ar ee — Bystander “That check is certified,” answered Tobias, “but listen to my story and then draw your own conclusions. Every time I passed a telegraph office I sent a fictitious wire to you stating that I had purchased a fac- tory site and signed the name of a fake realty company to it. The ‘Little Eva’ salesman followed me into the telegraph offices, read the messages and immediately wired the information to his boss in Jackson- ville. “Yesterday, the president of the ‘Little Eva’ Flower Pot Company sent for me and begged us not to locate our three new factories in Florida. He offered us $50,000 if we would stay out. I held out for a $100,000 and got it. That’s all there is to it. The company has made $100,000, which, Mr. Flubb, is equivalent to a profit of ten cents a pot on sales of 1,000,000 flower pots.” The room grew still. Outside the tropical sun was descending in a blaze of lurid glory. A little breeze ruffled the curtains. A flivver from New Hampshire back-fired on Main street and three school-teachers from Ohio bought five acres. But Henry Flubb sat deeply immersed in thought. At last he turned to Tobias and softly spoke: “You’ve done a wonderful thing for the company, Tobias, a marvelous thing, and I’m deeply grateful. We've made the $100,000, thanks to you, but how much happier I would be if I could see Flubb flower pots peeping at me from every window sill in Florida.
