To give members the kind of service they wish they had at home-but rarely get-full-scale clubs have one employee for every four to ten members, a small army of cooks, clerks, caddies, bartenders, plus a manager who draws $10,000 to $30,000 a year, often plus apartment.

Because if they do, just as sure as you are a foot high, one day the American consumer is going to rebel. He is going to rebel in a big way, and there will be real trouble...
...from every channel, the Paar show is seen over a record 115 stations and has collected as many as 38 sponsors, ranging from Minipoo shampoo to Corega denture fastener.
