I’VE BEEN THINKING
By Cab Calloway
Yesterday I had a couple of ex¬
periences which got me to think¬
ing about a subject for today’s
column. First I stopped off in
Wallington, New Jersey, to visit
the plant where the New Jersey
Record is printed (that’s one of
the papers that carries this
column).
Man, let me tell you that it
takeB more gadgets, whirligigs,
rollers, forms, chuncks of type
and other assorted stuff than you
can imagine to put these words of
mine into print in your newspaper.
Why when you see all of the com¬
plicated machinery that goes into
the printing of a newspaper it
kind of makes you wonder whether
ANYTHING you have to say could
be wo’’th all the fuss it takes a
newspaper to print it!
That press is about fifty feet
long and ten feet high and the
paper is in tremendous rolls that
sit in big spools on the machine
and then wind themselves through
the works like a rat trying to
find his way through a maze In
a psychology professor’s labora¬
tory. And yet when the press gets
to rolling, every little chunk of
cast iron starts working towards
same end . . . and that paper
off the other end perfect-
ly.
It starts out a roll of paper
being fed into a machine, and
when it comes out it’s all printed
(in two colors), folded, and ready
to send to the corner newsie . . .
and every page is in place, printed
just as the editor planned it.
Then from there I went to visit
a friend of mine who had once
planned to be a doctor. His ideals
were high, but his money ran short
and now he’s married and has a
family and he can’t study any
more because he has to support
his family. So he clerks in a
grocery store.
“Cab,” he confessed to me. “J
feel like the greatest failure in
the world. I’m wasting my whole
life clerking in a store. I’m about
as useless to the world as I could
be.”
And I got to thinking about
that printing press . . . and I
didn’t say anything then but I
h °Pe that Tommy is reading this
now because this is the answer
Diid and to a lot of , plain , . folk , .,
. , . . ,
If a screw comes loose on this
printing press; if a roller ceases
to function; if any little part
stops . . . you have to stop the
whole press and get it working
again before the paper can roll.
It’s the same thing in life. If
one little guy stops working, it
throws the machinery out of
whack. If he stops clerking, then
the grocery store gets all fouled
up because people count on him
to do his job. No matter what
your job is, you are in on the run-
nin * of the world - You ’ re a very
important C0 S ln k «ping things
going right. ,
Now, when I said that newspaper
conies out perfectly, I was exag¬
gerating a little. Someplace there’s
probably a word mis-spelled or a
piece of broken type, but all in
all the paper looks darn good.
That’s the way with us. We all
do our job and maybe the world
isn’t perfect; maybe there’s a
flaw here and there, but the ma¬
chine wc make up keeps the world
right. And we’re all important in
that project. And don’t forget it,
Tommy!

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1950
WELL KNOWN tiUvSk —out¬
ing the past three years mil¬
lions of American magazine
readers have become acquaint¬
ed with the dignified features of
Robert Anthony, the stately
butler in the advertisements
used by Hiram Walker to ad¬
vertise Walker’s DeLuxe Bour¬
bon whiskey. But very few
of them ever saw Mr. Anthony
in this unusual pose.
The picture was made during
Mr. Anthony’s visit to a Hiram
Walker sales meeting at the
Shamrock Hotel in Houston,
Texas, where he appeared on
the program, first in the pose
so familiar to magazine read¬
ers, and then wearir|? the
traditional symbol of the Lone
Star state—a ten-gallon hat.
Mr, Anthony has attended
Hiram Walker sales meetings
in California and other parts of
the country. His advertising
work is only a sideline. In-
real life he Is a waiter in the
Empire Room at Chicago’s Palm¬
er House. He was discovered
accidentally by members oi
Hiram Walker’s advertising
agency who were looking for
a human character who could
portray at a glance the digni¬
ty and heritage of fine whis¬
key and its place in graciou.f
living. It is said by compa¬
nies who make a study of ad¬
vertising readership that the
ads in which Mr. Anthony ap¬
pears are among the best read
n American magazines. Mr.
anthony has had numerous of¬
fers from other advertisers and
from the movies.
