They pride themselves on being sportsmen, compete madly at tennis, squash, billiards, chess. President Keep's dream: a gymnasium for Cue, where every male of his 80 employes would be compelled to take at least one hour's exercise every day. One of Cue's female employes describes the organization as "a casual kind of place, so friendly and full of gentlemen...
