FOR
JULY
1945
Two of us were sitting at a small table at
lunch the other day, not talking much, but
thinking a lot of this business and its
future. The reason for our "silence was that
a few hours before we had received word
of a former operator who would not reo
turn from the war.
As we s~t, lost in unhappy reverie, a
mutual acquaintance took a seat at a table
across the room. We nodded to him casually,
distracted by the troubled thoughts that ran
through our minds, but, as lunch proceeded,
we glanced back, and gradually his person·
ality and the problem that he represents
in this world of ours began to seep through
to our consciousness. We kept looking at
this acquaintance, sizing him up and-
through him-shaping up some thoughts
of a difficulty that is facing all of us at
home.
'
It concerns that day when peace returns
and, with it, the thousands upon thousands
of men who will come back. We thought
more and more about this fellow across the
room and those others who have been reap·
ing a harvest of dollars while on the other
side of the world men have fought.
This fellow had on an expensive suit;
the style and the way the cloth sat looked
Well, he's riding the tide now, and with
a dismal record of handling his customers
on service and decent consideration, his
chance for a rough time in the future seems
pretty good.

We've made money and it's given a lot
of us "air" that just shouldn't be there.
It has made some friends but it has made
more enemies. We've become, many of us,
successful entrepreuners or specialists.
What will happen when the world gets
back to normal? It's enough to make you
stop and think, and right now is the time
to have that little talk with yourself in the
mirror, weigh yourself and make future
plans. If you do, you'll view the future with
humility and ascribe the finanical advan·
tages you've had in these war years more
due to conditions than to your own ability.
Don't sell yourself short on the years
ahead.
good. His shirt was one of those soft, easy·
resting ones and the tie he wore had a lot
of colors and we could picture the price
tag above the rack it was on. When he left,
we remembered the times-in I93S-and
years thereafter, when he sat across from
us in our office and we talked to him about
his problems and tried to help him along.
