Chaikin would have to leave the Manheimers, of course In the afternoon of the sixth day, when I called at one of the purchasing offices I have mentioned, I received the information that the firm whose check I was awaiting so impatiently had failed! THE failure of the Western firm seemed to have nipped my commercial career in the bud.
There are others who want to go into business with me. Only I know Mr. Chaikin is an honest man, and that's what I value more than anything else. I hate to take up with people of whom I can't be sure, don't you know " "You forget the main thing," she could not forbear to break in. "Mr. Chaikin is the best designer in New York."
And so, unbeknown to Chaikin, the notion was shaping itself in my mind of becoming his manufacturing partner. The thought of Meyer Nodelman's humble beginnings and of the three hundred-odd dollars I had in my savings-bank whispered encouragement into my ear. I had heard of people who went into manufacturing with even less than that sum.
Chaikin that it had been a mistake on my part to trust the buyer of that Western firm the goods without first consulting her; and the upshot was that she made me stay to supper and that pending the arrival of Chaikin I took Maxie to the Park The father-in-law of my story was Mr. Even, of course.
There is another fine designer who is anxious to form a partnership with me, but I said to myself, 'I must first see if I could not get Mr. Chaikin interested." Mrs. Chaikin tried to guess who that other designer was, but I pleaded, mysteriously, certain circumstances that placed the seal of discretion on my lips "I won't tell anybody," she assured me, in a flutter of curiosity
Having forfeited the invaluable services of Chaikin, who now gave all his time to his newly established factory, I filled the gap with all sorts of makeshifts and contrivances. An employee of one of the big shops, a tailor, stole designs for me.
What do we know?" "Mrs. Chaikin! Mrs. Chaikin!" I remonstrated. "Why should you be so suspicious? Can't you see that I am the most devoted friend you people ever had? God has blessed us; we are making a success of our business so we must be devoted to one another, while here you imagine all kinds of nonsense." "A woman will be a woman," Chaikin muttered, with his sheepish smile
"Levinsky is right. You can't sell goods unless you know who you deal with." The following two days were as barren of results as the first. Mrs. Chaikin had lost all confidence in the venture. She was becoming rather hard to handle "I don't want Ansel to bother any more," she said, peevishly.
He answered mostly in monosyllables, or with mute gestures, often accompanied by his child-like grin or by a perplexed stare of his bluish eyes Gradually I gave the conversation a more personal turn. When, somewhat flushed, I finally hinted at my plan, he shrank with an air of confusion At this juncture his wife made her appearance, followed by her eight-year-old boy. Chaikin looked relieved
"Everybody knows that," I conceded, deeming it best to flatter her vanity. "That's just what makes it ridiculous that he should work for others, make other people rich instead of trying to do something for himself. I have some plans by which the two of us Mr. Chaikin taking charge of the manufacturing and I of the business outside would do wonders. We would simply do wonders.
