Now, in relations to this awarding, and the mode and manner of approach to those, or that one who awards such contract: These are in regular order, and there will be only the essence in its fullest extent of the BEST and the most economical way of furnishing those specified conditions for this hotel. While commonly or ordinarily speaking, Small is a regular fellow; yet in this particular deal there will be considered the best, most artistic, the most reasonable way, before even ECONOMY is considered; while it IS a factor.

The ability of Emmons to furnish that needed, that desired, and the manner - or the service that can be rendered through its offices, in making this service one that the one so awarding contract will be PROUD, as well as glad, of the association. So present it. We would find the contract so given - and [39] may expect (can this be shown) the best service, the most artistic in all of its arrangement, and a service that will not be seconded by any, on this particular job. Approach, then, in that manner, and obtain same.
6. (Q) What is the right attitude of mind in which to approach Mr. Small? (A) That of the best service in that demanded or desired by Small, for the hotel to be so furnished, decorated, and ready for operation.
7. (Q) If secured, will it be a profitable undertaking?

8. (Q) When will the contract be given? (A) When this is made self-evident to Small that the best service, in its whole sense, is and can be rendered.
9. (Q) May we look forward confidently to securing this order? (A) Fulfilling this as given, yes. Not fulfilling this, no.
10. (Q) May the firm of Laurence Emmons, Inc., look forward to prosperity? Is it working on the right lines or should any alteration be made that would be for the best interest of all concerned?
