A A His daily job in a Lincoln, 111, china factory is to move thousands of fragile cups, saucers and plates. Doing this on trays made stair climb- ing awkward, so he experimented with head carrying—like the natives do in Borneo. Snyder won't talk about his first heard a crash out of him since he got the hang of stacking eight dozen tea- cups on a plank and balancing the plank on his head. Success brought its reward. Inas- much as one cannot afford to cough or have the jitters with eight dozen teacups on the head, Snyder made a little side money indorsing a nation- ally advertised cigarette.
