7 DIQUDHECY Early in the summer of 1950 I was traveling about the country without any definite destination. I came upon a small village about dusk one day, and thinking that one place was as good as another, I decided to stay there overnight. Climbing from my car I hailed a bedraggled bum, who was limping along the street, and inquired where the nearest hotel was located. Upon closer examination, I recognized the face of my old pal and classmate, Charles Punk Snyder. After exchanging greetings he directed me to the Worstbuild Hotel, the city's finest. Upon arriving at the hotel my baggage was picked up by the doorman, Glennis Renedict. Registering at the desk and glancing over the names my eye was caught by the familiar signature of Edwin Jackson. Raising my head to inquire about this person I recognized Gladys Russell, the clerk, and Raymond Ingraham, whom she introduced as the manager. They informed me that Mr. Jackson was a high pres- sure salesman for the Sure-Shot Mothball Company. They also told me that James Ferguson and Lynn Porter were salesmen for the Glass-Eye Potato Growers' Association. I was taken to my room by the bell-hop who was none other than Winton Pulver. Going up on the elevator operated by Francis Sherman CI always knew he would get up in the worldj I washed and dressed for dinner. When I descended to the din- ing room, I was directed to a table by the Head Waiter, James Eaves. While waiting for dinner, I was entertained by the orchestra, some of the members of which were Allen Henderson, the trombonist and leader, with Frederick Reuss at the piano. I had read beforehand that Fred had gained prominence by the discovery of the lost chord. My dinner was served by Nina Wing who seemed to be as talkative as ever. After dinner, I strolled into the smoking room, where I lighted a cigar and sunk into a comfortable chair. flf you can call these modernistic chairs as such.j I began perusing the Daily Blab. My eye fell upon the editorial written by Walter A. Hen- ricks, also about the proof of the theory that the temperature of a knot hole is the same as that of the air which it contains by the eminent scientist, Knud Borglum. Also I read that Robert Donaldson who was teaching Latin at Rome had made several important geological discoveries. In the advertising section, I noticed several advertisements, among which was one by Howard Cody who was engaged in the manufacture of Cellophane wrapped eggs with the slogan 'See What You Buy. He shares the honor of the discovery of these with the Professors Walter Wood, Charles Adams and Wilfred Reed of the Department of Animal Husbandry of Hobart College. Earl Morse and Leon A. DeBolt had their advertisement in, with the slogan, We Move Anything That Ain't Too Heavy. They were evidently in the trucking business. I also noticed that the Harper SL Herrick Beauty Parlor had an advertisement. 23 V
