      H. S, (Stan) Bond won't retire although he'll soon be 94. He's too old to renew his driver's license so makes his sales calls via bus and streetcar. Bond thinks today's company managers would do a better job if they were given bonuses for boosting profits. His customer say he knows merchandise well.

      Doreen MacDonald picked up a toaster from a pile of battered appliances in the Qeen St. E. Soup-to-nuts junk store run by Jack Himself Cohen. One dollar. Himself said. Does it work? Doreen asked. I don't know. Why don't you plug it in and find out? All I do is sell as is. You won't plug it in? No. Doreen paid the $1 and once again proved Himself's credo: I don't polish anything. I learned my lesson when I polished the $25 special finish off a candelabra early in business. Since then I sell everything just as it is. [Incomplete]
