Now, which of the two is proud of it? Answer in next issue of RECALL. He came to us familiar with all the turns in ‘‘Lover’s Lane’’ and with an uncanny ability to sell things. He is at present at work on a book How to Sell Useless Objects. Yes, he actually sells overcoats in the summer. His favorite pastime is reading tactics and making suggestions for improve- ments.
