Reasoned the Boss: "When

Surplus stock last week, I tele
phoned around and did it.
Why not branch out and'brush
up some of the prospects in
other cities and towns."
So he tried it and rounded
out a day's business that as
tonished him. Deducting the
small Bell Telephone cost from
the fare showed him extra big
profits, and he's still doing it.
So are hundreds of other
Philadelphia business men.
