Eight THE MILL WHISTLE August 27, 1945 RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR NEWS OF OtIR NEW YORK OFFICES 3y “WIG”—Pinch-Hitting For A. S. KRAMER Karastan; 295 Fifth Avenue Domestics: 88 Worth Street Our Answer to the Marching Zombies By Agnes Maloy In answer to that little poem (And to speak for all the girls) We only use the “Ladies Room” To straighten out our curls. Who likes to see a shiny nose And face all smudged with dirt? I’m sure you wouldn’t sit around With a button off your shirt. The reason why we go in pairs Is due to waxy floors. One has to hold the other up For can you walk on all fours? We hate to see you tear your hair Or see production flop, But slowing up a tiny bit Is better than full stop. So if these little trips of ours Are causing all your gloom We’ll help you move the office Right into the “Ladies Room.” Fairy Godmother Our Betty Mac Godmother to Nancy Julia Reynolds . . . Betty had her hands full ... it seems the baby was almost as big as Betty, and for a while we thought the baby would have to hold Betty. Information Please The comics must really be funny . . . Singer, Ducey and Grunau hysterical over the comics “Batman and the Robin” . . . being of a curious nature, we looked at another copy to see what was so funny, but all we could see was “See-Saw Smith” . . . come on fel lows, let us in on the joke. Happy Birthday On August 17th Ann McCluskey was a year younger, and the occasion was celebrated in the usual manner. Hub-a-Huh George Stewart claims to have an outstanding interest, but how does he account for the popping of his eyes and his ears lighting up when he pass es one certain young lady’s desk on the salgsfloor? . . . bong! Junior William E. Wigmore Jr. spent the day at the office on Friday, August 3rd . . . we instantly made him As sistant No. 4 to the office boy. He rather took a shine to Ann Matvick (and we hear she bribed him with chocolate sodas) and spent his time helping her. Buster, we are glad to re port, resembles his mother in every way, which is fortunate, for can you imagine if there were two Wigs in this world? Horrible thought isn’t it? Hah, hah, we’re only kidding ... it says here. Recent Visitors Dan Boone’s charming wife and equally charming sister. We also caught glimpses of Messrs. E. F. Powell, Purcell, Suttenfield, Brown, Golden and Tuttle. Lt. Chris Henry is in for a short visit, and we understand Lt. Randy Johnston is due around these parts very soon. Smiling Faces Esther Chait, Gertrude Benziger and Madlyn Rossi, all scanning the papers for arrivals of boats from Europe and the Pacific . . . wedding bells for Ger trude and Madlyn ? ? ? Quick Vacation H. W. Grunau had one day of his vacation . . . two weeks and four days more to go, at some future date. Imagine anyone returning from his vacation when he didn’t have to . . . The Arms of the Law Thomas H. Ducey, our Baby Sales man, ran afoul of the law . . . some where around Harrison, N. J., he was handed a ticket for speeding . . . speeding on a bike? That’s new, isn’t it? Vacationists G. L. Ivie, Dan Boone, Ginny Tay lor, Wig, Bea-Bea-Kastner, Alice Coo- gan, Velma Minter and Jim. Like Father, Like Son Gui Kunze, our stockboy is leaving Friday the 24th, and we certainly will be sorry to see him go. Gus leaves to enroll in the Merchant Marine school . Pa Kunze is in the Merchant Marine, and Gus is following in Pop’s footsteps. Good luck, Gus. Dragons No, it wasn’t a nightmare . . . Elea nor Greene and a group of friends celebrated V-J day in Chinatown . . . Eleanor says she and the Chinese are the happiest people . . . for a time we were worried . . . but the Chinese real ly danced behind paper dragons. VVe Refuse We absolutely refuse to mention Wilbur of Derby Hat Fame . . . yes sir, we absolutely refuse. We also absolutely refuse to mention how quiet it is in the office since our 36 year old salesman is on vacation . . . peace’s wunnerful. Our Miss 5x5 This is Gladys Schmidt . . . the atomic bomb of 88 Worth Street . . . chairs just disintegrate when she sits on them. Aviation Information Booth Is Opened .A As a preliminary step to its merchan dising of airplanes, which it will in augurate this fall, Marshall Field and Company today opened an aviation in formation booth on the first floor of its Store for Men. Marshall Field and Company attracted nation-wide attention in June when it announced it had signed a contract with Parks Aircraft Sales and Service, Inc., of East St. Louis, 111., to sell Ercoupe airplanes in the greater Chicago area. “The booth is to inform the public of requirements for private flying, either for business or pleasure,” Harold J. Nut ting, general merchandise manager, said, “and to acquaint it with the simplicity of learning to fly. Flying demonstrations also will be held at a Chicago airport.” The booth presents a visual exhibit of private flying information in graphic form. It has a black panel drop of a silver Ercoupe wing, with a blow-up of a cut-a-way of the Ercoupe. Super imposed on the wing is an aeronautical chart showing locations of airports and and airparks in the Chicago area. A panel board, with steering wheel con trols, gas throttle and hand brake, taken from an Ercoupe plane, also is shown. The glass front of the booth displays a series of blow-up pictures of the Er- coupe in action, and a small model, all- metal Ercoupe. Fulton M. Moore, who has more than 10,000 hours in the air and who has assisted in training 24,000 United States, English and Dutch aviation cadets, is in charge of the booth. He is assisted by John Wilsdon, who has helped train Free French cadets. The first Ercoupe airplane will go on display in the sporting goods section of the Store for Men about the first of October, Mr. Nutting said. Buy . . Sell . .
