Maybe she's right. She's smart...has a master's and everything. Me? I
was luck to squeek through a little cow college in West Texas.

I sell American office trailers. You know the kind. Outside, they look
like mobile homes. Inside, they have built in desks, plan tables,
washrooms...the whole bit. They're mobile offices, sell at a fair price.

No Mr. Scallan, I'm not trying to sell you a trailer. You don't bother
with nit-pickin' stuff like this, but somebody in your company buys or
rents trailers from time to time.

Big outfits like yours with lots of divisions and branch offices may
have a dozen men who buy or rent trailers. I'm referring not only to
purchasing agents, but the project managers, engineers, the
"wheels-in-the-field" who use these rigs.

My problem is this. I'm on the outside, looking in. Who to contact? Who
to put on our mailing list, mail our specs and prices to?...besides the
P.A.'s, that is.

I just need to know who these men are--names, titles, where they hang
their hats. Will you tell me?

If my wife is right, you'll drop this in the permanent file.

If I'm right, a memo from your assistant will tell me who I need to
contact. I'll mail them specs and prices. When they need a trailer,
they can phone me.

You're sitting in "Solomon's Seat". Is my wife right, or am I?

Sincerly,
