Once again it looked As if it would be Good for another six lain. Or. Chapman must learn to put More contempt into his answers. He must go Back to re Ferring to or. Kind of Snear. Gelfant with a anyone would think he liked or. Gelfant. And finally another bitter truth is emerging. The whole of Council productions is slipping. Not in one full year has the great i big b. Hank the Man Carrick and Charles Mill rate Simonite. The Days when it made National headlines with its a tree grows on Wolseley and great weekends at slave Falls Are All behind it. There s practically nothing Wuriu own month run. City Council productions of course has All rights reserved. Director Bill Gelfant the Youthful Boot Salesman will once again play the leading role and j. E. Chapman general Secretary the fire department will again be Vil lain. Or. Gelfant announced the new production monday by releasing a copy of a letter he has sent left to do but govern the City. City Council. The letter re states the 1957 plot the fire department has or dered 538 pairs of boots by ten Der with specifications drawn to the Sample of a rival Boot. Or. Gelfant. However has had a Spe Cial Boot made to the same specifications. Despite the fact his tender is a pair less the other tender has been accepted. The Salesman asks City Council to review the Case.

The fact is that the Young Salesman is maturing. He has sold perhaps 50.000 boots since 1957. He has gained in stature and perhaps a bit in size. The violence of the Boot in hand approach demands a younger Man. And or. Chapman of the fire department has t got any younger either.
