...started in 1920 by a pair of company sleuths, Mark Bernstein, now 74, and his late brother, Will, whose names are joined in Willmark. Led today by President Bernstein, Willmark has spawned many imitators but still leads the field. Besides keeping a watch out for the bartender, restaurant cashier or gas-station attendant who neglects to ring up a sale on the cash register, Will-mark's 1,500 fulltime "shopping analysts" also rate each salesperson's ability by filling out a secret, 60-question "Selling-Quotient-Builder" after every transaction.

Rogers nicknamed him Jerry, and the young attorney got some of his first courtroom experience helping Rogers successfully defend Clarence Darrow against a charge of bribing jurors...
What all these people are up to even the playwright is not sure. But by last week both he and the cast were almost convinced that Sam is about a bank robbery in which the take includes 500,000 defective pound notes. (A Bank of England cashier named G. O. Dodd has signed them "Good God" by error.) Sam is accused and fired. A priest gets hold of the cash and distributes it to unwed pregnant women who "promise to stop it." Sam develops "delusions of grandeur, paranoia and schizophrenia." and decides that he is the world's greatest...
