I know an old timer in the coin con -
troll ed music bus iness who can call off
litera ll y thousa nds of first names of opera-
tors and busines associates from coast to
coast but probably knows only a f raction
of the ir last names. He tells me not once
has anyo ne bee n offended by this fami liar·
ity wh ich, in this case, do es not breed con-
tempt.
Ours is a f ri endly industry. T he men
comprisin g it a re a fri end ly lot. Let's kee p
it that way and free from tiff form ality.
If you know a ma n's first name-use it-
and sa ve the rest of hi s name for the
dotted li ne.
