...quit school when he was 16, worked in a railroad machine shop, then wandered to Mexico, Central and South America and back again as an itinerant machinist.

When President Judson of Community engages the services of an artist managed by President Judson of Columbia, the artist pays President Judson's Columbia a 20% commission...
