Conley reported as to the number of sheets that the men had posted, whereat the manager rose, pounded his desk and, in a towering rage, expressed his opinion of the tribe of billposters again. Billy smiled sarcastically, in which he was joined by Teddy, but Phil's face was solemn. He was becoming rather tired of this constant abuse.
No such limitations were imposed upon Teddy Tucker, however, and Teddy whooped it up for all that was in him. All hands were weary when they turned in that night. At about eleven o'clock the following morning, the country billposters came in, having completed their routes.
I saw right away that he had made up his mind to treat us badly. What time do we pull out tonight?" "Twelve o'clock, I think. And speaking of that, it is time to turn in." The three entered the car. Mr. Snowden already had turned in, his end of the car being dark and silent. Most of the billposters also had climbed to their berths near the roof of the car, and some of them were snoring heavily.
"Oh, pshaw, I'm not as much of a billposters as I thought I was. I guess there is more to this game than I had any idea of." "You will learn. You took a pretty big contract when you tried to put up that eight-sheet." "We will let you try a one-sheet on the farther end of the barn. A one-sheet is a small, twenty-eight inch piece of paper, you know." Phil nodded. "I'll try it," he said.
Or they've seen my name and my picture on a hoarding, and I've to think o' the men who made the lithograph sheets, and the billposters who put them up. Sae here's Harry Lauder and a' the folk he maun have tae help him mak' a living and earn his bit siller! More than you'd thought' Aye, and more than I'd thought, sometimes.
"Now tell me, if you will, what the routine of the work on an advance car is," said Phil after he and Billy had sat down beside the tracks. "It would take all night to do that, but I'll give you a few pointers and the rest you will have to pick up for yourself. In the first place an advertising car includes billposters, lithographers, banner men and at least one programmer."
Henry, you will attend to the paste-making, beginning tomorrow. This being a billboard town, I am going to skip it and get into the territory where the opposition is stronger. I have arranged with the local billposters to take care of the work here." "That is all I have to say just now, boys. When you have anything to ask or to suggest, you know where the office is. Mr.
Get out of here, every man of you, and get your breakfasts; then get off on your routes. Things are coming to a fine pass on this car. Young man, I will talk to you later." The manager, with red face and angry eye, strode to his stateroom, while the grinning billposters made haste to get into their clothes. A few minutes later, and all hands were on their way to breakfast.
"One of the billposters fell off a barn it was a hay barn, I think. I am not sure. I'll ask Phil before I finish this letter. Let me see, what happened to him? Oh, yes, I remember. He broke his arm off and we left him in a hospital back at Aberdeen. Phil let one of the banner men go this morning. The fellow had false teeth and couldn't hold tacks in his mouth.
For the first few days I will send you out with one of the billposters; after that you will have to go it alone. If you are no good, back you go. Understand?" "I think so. I shall do the best I can." "And what do I do?" demanded Teddy. The car manager eyed him disapprovingly. "What do you do?" "Yes." "I have a nice gentlemanly job laid out for you.
