Seated beside a card table spread with a buffet lunch, he was once more Roosevelt the Charming, swift with his comebacks, "wowing"' his audience with his retorts to every question. Had he fulfilled his desire of catching a "denizen of the deep?"

They refused the investigator's request. Two days later all Guild manufacturers received a small pink card informing them that the department store had been guilty of DEFINITE REFUSAL TO COOPERATE. As penalty, Strawbridge & Clothier's orders were no longer to be filled...
