For past, present and future champions its three foundries provide jobs which do not affect their amateur standing. Clean-jerker Ter-lazzo, for example, is office secretary, Presser Terpak is general manager, and Snatcher Ishikawa earns brawn with his bread by lifting boxes in the shipping department.
