Wrenn scowled at an advertisement of Corn Flakes in the Third Avenue Elevated without really seeing it.... Should he go back to the Souvenir Company at all? Yes. He would. That was the best way to start making friends. But he would "get our friend Guilfogle at recess," he assured himself, with an out-thrust of the jaw like that of the great Bill Wrenn.
I'm awfully sorry. I hunted around, but I couldn't find a thing we could use. I mean I couldn't find anything that began to come up to our line. Them English are pretty slow." "Didn't, eh? Well, what's your plans now?" "Why uh I kind of thought Honestly, Mr. Guilfogle, I'd like to get back on my old job. You remember it was to be fixed so " "Afraid there's nothing doing just now, Wrenn.
Mortimer R. Guilfogle was the more aghast at hearing him bawl this no one knows. The manager was so worried at the thought of breaking in a new man that his eye-glasses slipped off his poor perspiring nose. He begged, in sudden tones of old friendship: "Why, you can't be thinking of leaving us! Why, we expect to make a big man of you, Wrenn. I was joking about firing you.
But I'm going to give the first try at it to Glover. He's had so much more experience with meeting people directly personally. But you're a good man " "Yes, I've heard that before, but I'll be gol-darned if I'll stick at one desk all my life just because I save you all the trouble in that department, Guilfogle, and now " "Now, now, now, now! Calm down; hold your horses, my boy.
He'd be glad to write over to Mr. Guilfogle about it. Anyway, she seemed willing to have him stick here. Yet when dear Carson had jauntily departed, leaving the room still loud with the smack of his grin, Istra seemed to have forgotten that Mr. Wrenn was alive. She was scowling at a book on the bed as though it had said things to her.
He'll threaten to fire you if you say a thing more about it. You can tell him to go ahead, and then where'll he be? Guess that'll call his bluff some!" "Yes, but, Charley, then if Guilfogle feels he can't pay me that much you know he's responsible to the directors; he can't do everything he wants to why, he'll just have to fire me, after I've talked to him like that, whether he wants to or not.
If Charley didn't come through the entry-room he'd go into the bookkeeping-room, and "talk about your surprises " "Mr. Guilfogle will see you now," said the office girl. As he entered the manager's office Mr. Guilfogle made much of glancing up with busy amazement. "Well, well, Wrenn! Back so soon? Thought you were going to be gone quite a while." "Couldn't keep away from the office, Mr.
I'm gettin' 'em gettin' 'em." He rarely thought of Istra till he was out on the street again, proud of having worked so late that his eyes ached. In fact, his chief troubles these days came when Mr. Guilfogle wouldn't "let him put through an idea." Their first battle was over Mr. Wrenn's signing the letters personally; for the letters, the office manager felt, were as much Ours as was Mr.
Guilfogle," with an uneasy smile. "Have a good trip?" "Yes, a dandy." "How'd you happen to get back so soon?" "Oh, I wanted to Say, Mr. Guilfogle, I really wanted to get back to the office again. I'm awfully glad to see it again." "Glad see you. Well, where did you go? I got the card you sent me from Chesterton with the picture of the old church on it."
Wrenn, and should be signed by the firm. After some difficulty Mr. Wrenn persuaded him that one of the best ways to handle a personal letter was to make it personal.

What's the use of a manager if his underlings use judgment? The next battle Mr.
