These men were among the highest paid leaders in West Coast justness, but age brushed them aside to make room at the top for younger men.

"One problem was that the price was far too low on one item.

The more business we did the closer we came to going broke." Logan cited a case in vhtch a small businessman expanded his sales volume to S2.5 million a year and lost $50,000. The'directors cut back the sales volume and the client inndc HD Ciub Meets With Mrs. Lewis The Happy Homemakers' HD Club held its December meeting in the home of Mrs. B. B.
