There is something patriarchal and princely about such a house, almost unknown in our businesses at home from the portraits of the founders, from the caskmakers, at lunch-time, broiling their own fish over a huge fireplace and drawing wine from the common cask as they have done for generations; the stencils in the shipping-room "Baltimore," "Bogota," "Buenos Aires," "Chicago," "Calcutta," "Christiania," "Caracas" from things like these to the personality and point of view of the men who have the business in charge.
"He is the youngster who solved the 'ghost' riddle and spoiled this same gang's game at Midway Junction." The merchant warmly shook Jack's hand. "I'm glad to meet you, my boy," he said. "After that, I can readily believe what Boyle says. "Yes, I am all ready. This way, please," he requested. Following the speaker, Jack and the detective found themselves in a large shipping-room.
For a dazed moment Florian stared at him. "Why, yessir. Yes, sir, I'd I'd like to go very much." And he coughed to hide his joy and terror. And two weeks later he went. The thing swept the store like a flame. In an hour everyone knew it from the shipping-room to the roof-restaurant. Myra saw him the day he left. She was game, that girl. "I hope you're going to have a beautiful time, Mr. Sykes."
"It seems as if France must turn out enough silk for herself and all the world," observed Pierre, motioning to the great bales heaped in a near-by shipping-room. "The output is, of course, very small now in comparison with what it usually is," answered the elder boy. "The war has made a great difference.

Then it'll just be a job of matching up the negative and sticking in the subtitles and starting to turn out the positives faster than the shipping-room gang can handle 'em. I guess that ain't moving, heh?" "Quinlan," said Mr. Lobel, "I give you right." By making his word good to the minute the gratified Mr. Quinlan derived additional gratification.
The twins were sick, too, and there were Nellie and Minnie and the little baby, and mother not strong enough to work even if she had time to leave the children. Father? Well, that's just where Miss Horton's help was needed. Father had worked here in the factory, out in the shipping-room, but they'd discharged him several weeks ago.
"I'll try to find out as I go down." "Where are you going?" "I don't know that either. I must think it over." "Never mind; remember what I said before; you're in the right, so keep a stiff upper lip," returned Frank. When Richard went down he passed through the shipping-room. Earle Norris was hard at work, sending off orders. He looked surprised, or pretended to, as the boy entered.
As made out by salespersons in duplicate, one half is detached with address and sent with the goods, and the other half remains attached to the purchasing ticket until the purchase is completed. Goods sold are immediately wrapped, carriers called and goods are delivered through slides, elevators, etc., direct to the shipping-room floors.
And out there in the shipping-room Henry's singing like a whole minstrel troupe all day long, when he isn't whistlin' so loud you can hear him over 's far as Eighth Avenue." Then, as the red surged up through the girl's fair skin, "Well?" drawled old Pop Henderson, and the dry chuckle threatened again. "We-e-ell?" "Why, Pop Henderson!" exploded Miss Kelly from her cage. "Why Pop Henderson!"
You oughtta seen me the day I quit the shipping-room, right over at the Titanic, too, and then see whether you got something to be scared at." "You you used to work there?" "Six years." "I I ain't scared no more, Eddie; honest, I ain't!" "Gee! I should say not! They ain't even sending you up to the farm." "No, no! They're going to get me a job. A regular outdoor, on-the-level kind of a job.
