Parkman never returned. For three days Webster remained behind bolted doors in his laboratory, with his furnace and two stoves going full blast, and the water running contin- uously.

President to Janitor. Sparking the move toward smaller but more numerous prizes is a handful of incentive firms that have made big business out of shooting adrenalin into salesmen. The biggest is Dayton's E. F. MacDonald Co., which last year had a hand in triggering the sale of $1 billion worth of merchandise. MacDonald urges firms to award varied prizes, usually merchandise on a point scale, thus give every salesman some incentive to better his work.
