The Go-Getter

Loyal 42nd Page reader Becca sent in this evening's recommendation for “The Go-Getter: A Story That Tells You How To Be One.”

On the forty-second page of this particular edition (ISBN: 0-8050-6562-8) of the classical business book (first published in 1921) author Peter B. Kyne (as revised and updated by Alan Axelrod) wrote (emphasis added):

commenced calling up all the B. Jonsons in town. There were eight of them and six of them were out, one was maudlin with liquor and the other was very deaf and shouted unintelligibly.

"Peace hath its barbarities no less than war," Mr. Peck sighed. He changed a twenty-dollar bill into nickles, dimes and quarters, returned to the hot, ill-smelling telephone booth and proceed to lay down a barrage of telephone calls to the B. Jonsons of all towns of any importance contiguous to San Francisco Bay. And he was lucky. On the sixth call he located the particular B. Jonson in San Rafael, only to be informed by B. Jonson's cook that Mr. Jonson was dining at the home of a Mr. Simons in Mill Valley.

There were three Mr. Simons in Mill Valley, and Peck called them all before connecting with the right one. Yes, Mr. B. Jonson was there. Who wished to speak to him? Mr Heck? Oh, Mr. Lake! A silence. Then—"Mr. Jonson says he doesn't know any Mr. Lake and wants to know the nature of your business. He is dining and doesn't like to be disturbed unless the matter is of grave importance."

"Tell him Mr. Peck wishes to speak to him on a matter of very great importance," wailed the private.

Houses and cars are not cheap and not every person can buy it. Nevertheless, home loans are created to aid people in such situations.
