"BUREAUCRACY" REFERENCE: B 3c-24614 FILE: Inc. Form 462B-MQ As head of the Division of Provision for Revision Was a man of indecision - Morton Quirk, Ph.D in Calisthenics, P. D. Q. inPathogenics, He has just the proper background for the work. From the pastoral aroma of Aloma, Oklahoma, With a pittance of a salary in hand, His acceptance had been whetted, even aided and abetted, By emolument that netted some five grand. So, with energy ecstatic this fanatic left his attic And hastened on to Washington, D. C., Where with verve and vim and vigor, he went hunting for the Nigger In the woodpile of the W. P. B. After months of patient process, Morton's spicular proboscis Had unearthed a reprehensible hiatus, In reply be Blair and Blair to his thirteenth questionnaire In connection with their inventory status. They had written: "Your directive when effective was defective In its ultimate objective - and what's more, Neolithic Hieroglyphic is, to us, much more specific, Than the drivel you keep dumping at our door." This sacrilege discovered, Morton fainted - but recovered Sufficiently to write, "We are convinced That sabotage is camouflaged behind perverted persiflage - Expect me on the 22nd inst." But first he sent a checker, then he sent a checker's checker, Still nothing was disclosed as being wrong; So a checker's checker's checker, came to check the checker's checker, And the process was laborious and long. Then followed a procession of the follow - up profession Through the records of the firm of Blair and Blair. From breakfast until supper some new super-follow-upper, Tore his hair because of Morton's questionnaire. The file is closed, completed, though our Hero, undefeated, Carries on in some department as before, But victory is in sight of - not because of - but in spite of, Doctor Morton's mighty efforts in the war. (Author Unknown) Advertising Talk Given Rotarians By Clark Donmye Rotary club members heard most interesting talk last Morning when they met in regular session at the Elk's club and heard Clark Donmyer, advertising manager, the Mutual Orange Distribution and the Southern California Foods corporation talking "The History of Merchandizing" He pointed out that newspaper motion pictures and radio are greatest power in advertising day. Proctor and Gamble was the greatest advertising company in the United States last year, spending approximately 18½ million dollars and it was fully justified when considered on a cost unit basis. The history of merchandise began only 40 or 50 years ago can easily be traced from time, he said. In the earlier days of merchandising there were supersalesmen such as "Diamond Jim Brady who was probably the greatest salesman of all time personified salesmanship and the emissary of big business." Brady said, "To be a great man you must make 'em love you, make 'em respect you, make 'em like you." The speaker concluded by saying "When the war ends greatest merchandising progress in the history of the world start. We must be prepared grasp these opportunities." Illustrated this by saying that inventions such as dehydration and refrigeration will change merchandising methods after...
