      Super hot dog salesman is Manfred Doblinger president of VS services Ltd., which sold nearly one million hot dogs at Exhibition stadium last year. He may get permission to sell beer this summer but he's not too enthusiastic about the idea. It would be expensive, and - horros - cut down hot dog sales.

      A winner in the inflation battle is 31-year-old Jim Barr, who became a real estate salesman less than 15 months ago and expects to make $60,000 this year. That's a result of good, hard work plus the runaway prices of property.
