Kicking the Gong Around Is Big Thing Business Clients Are Given Run-around in New York Declared to Pay, Too Py GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Nov. 29. — This is great town for going out witn business clients and kicking the gong around. Give the boys a good time, and you'll get divi- dends on your investment. Perhaps this is true. It must be, or else a lot of people I know wouldn't keep on doing it. For example One of my friends is a real estate agent, a pretty big one. Three or four times a year he gath in a dozen or 20 of his clients and brings them to New York. He takes them to football games at box seat prices, $6.60 each, Before the game, of course, there are lunch and drinks, plus cab fares all over Man- hattan After the game the party retires to a hotel where a large suite has your been reserved for freshening up and drinks, After about two hours they pile into cabs and go to a night club, They arrive at 7:30 and remain until 2 am. during which time a dozen or so uninvited gue join the party for a few drink: 50 . The day, altogether, co about $600. The man who throws these par- is a successful business man He makes money. . . . Spend-| ing it this way must pay dividends, but I wonder whether he wouldn't make money in any case. | ties Favorite periods for such wooing of clients are during the big shows —the automobile show, the flower chow, the power show, cte. Hun- dreds of thousands of <ollars are spent on entertainment and the bill levied against “promotion and advertising.” I know a man who works for a ball bearing company. . . . Air- planes, automobiles, printing press- es can't get along without ball bearings. . This man has :n unlimited expense account. He is supposed to invite a lct of people into the city. This means . hotel reservations, plus theaters, plus everything in the form of enter- tainment that New York has to offer The bill is staggering To me, I mean, it is stagger- ing . But this fellow does it three or four times a year, and his company is in the money ‘They say it is und business. . At the last power show there was one party of 12 men, Some of‘ them arrived by train. . . Two. flew from the Middle West. In ad-| vance, 12 sets of tickets were re- served for three of the leading| musicals shows on Broadway. . . Tickets to a musical show cost $4.40 each, Reservations in several night clubs had been made.| You cannot begin to entertain. af man in a night club for less than §10. . . . There were reservations at hotels. 1t cost a small fortune| 1o finance this party but after itl was over my friend expressed him-| self as well pleased with the way| things had worked out. These menl represented business connections. He was insulating them from his| ~cmpetitors and reported that the! four or five days of painting the town red would leave him sitting pretty for months to come. I believe him, . . . But I still do not understand why. HAS COACHED | 29 YEARS AT SAMESCHOOL DENVER, Col., Nov. 29.—Forrest| E.
