Address K 6U, ofllce.
Tho above advertisement in one of tho !
Chicago (1.lilies attracted the attention !
of a reporter. A corroepondenco was
entcrod into with the result of an in- I
terview lxing arranged for, the ndver- t
tiser being quite unaware that publicity
would be given to what was developed. |
The manager of the “social agency,” for
such he called his establishment, was
found occupying on office in one of tho
tall buildings, aud explained that tho
general purpose of his business was the
leaving of calling cards, thereby saving
society people the trouble of doing this
work themselves. “Ordinarily,” he said,
“1 employ half a dozen carriage's And an
equal number of footmen, i can save a
lady the trouble of driving around and
leaving her card by doing tho work for
her, and if you want anything done that
way 1 would be pleased to serve you. My
charges are moderate.”
“What do you charge?”
“My regular rate's are $1 j**r 100 cards
left, but I make a reduction for heavy
business."
“How do you manage to do the work
go cheap?”
“Why, by leaving cards for a large
number of ladies with one trip, where
several hundred would bo required if it
were done by the ladies themselves."
“What are your special features for
New Year'.-;”
“That, of course, is our biggest day,
not only from the number of calls that
are made, but because we work on New
Year’s in a double capacity, not only de
livering cards for those who choose to
employ us, but leaving them in the
baskets hung outside of onr patrons’ ,
doors. We will have over a hundred
carriages calling this New. Year s, and j
we will have to supply them with gen
tlemen in dress suits. \Ve will also have |
a number *>f callers on foot, at half ratea, j
as some prefer th(*se.”
“What is the advantage of all this?”
“Why, it gives prestige to tho ladies
called upon. If they can seem to receive
so iiiauy calls, although not entertaining,
they must be considered very desirable
people t*»know. See!”—Chicago Herald.
