The Go-Getter by Peter B. Alden P. Ricks, known in Pacific Coast wholesale lumber and shipping circles as Cappy Ricks, had more troubles than a hen with ducklings. He remarked as much to Mr. Skinner received this information in silence. He was not related to Cappy Ricks. But Matt Peasley sat down, crossed his legs and matched glares with his mercurial father-in-law. It's the fact that in my old age I find myself totally surrounded by the choicest aggregation of mental duds since Ajax defied the lightning.
In my old age you two have forced us into the position of having to fire folks by cable, go getter pdf download. Because we're breaking into a game that can't be played on the home grounds. A lot of our business is so far away we can't control it. We argued me into it. I'm the goat. You have nothing to do with it, go getter pdf download. You retired ten years ago. All the troubles in the marine end of this shop belong on my capable shoulders, old settler.
I hope you do not expect me to abandon mental as well as physical effort. Great Wampus Go getter pdf download Am I to be denied a sentimental interest in matters where I have a controlling financial interest? I admit you two boys are running my affairs and ordinarily you run them rather well, but--but--ahem!
What's the matter with you, go getter pdf download, Matt? And you, also, go getter pdf download, Skinner? If Matt makes a mistake, it's your job to remind him of it before the results manifest themselves, is it not?
And vice versa. Have you two boobs lost your ability to judge men or did you ever have such ability? Skinner cut in. And I'm here to remind you that if we'd stuck to our own game, which is coast-wise shipping, and had left the trans-Pacific field with its general cargoes to others, we wouldn't have any Shanghai office at this moment and we would not be pestered by the Hendersons of go getter pdf download world.
Skinner defended. But did you consult me when you decided to send him out go getter pdf download China on his own? The man was in charge of the Shanghai office before you ever opened your mouth to discharge your cargo of free advice. But--I've been twenty years reducing a tendency on the part of that fellow's head to bust his hat-band.
And now he's gone south with a hundred and thirty thousand taels of our Shanghai bank account. Ricks," Mr. Skinner cut in coldly, "that he was bonded to the extent of a quarter of a million dollars.
Go getter pdf download a peep. And I recall now that I was reminded by you, Matthew, my son, that I had retired ten years ago and please, would I quit interfering in the internal administration of your office, go getter pdf download. Henderson has drunk and gambled and signed chits in excess of his salary. He hasn't attended to business and he's capped his inefficiency by absconding with our bank account. We couldn't foresee that. When we send a man out to the Orient to be our manager there, we have to trust him all the way or not at all.
So there is no use weeping over spilled milk, Cappy. Our job is to select a successor to Henderson and send him out to Shanghai on the next boat.
I suppose I'm far from generous, bawling you out like this. Perhaps, when you're my age and have a lot of mental and moral cripples nip you and draw blood as often as they've drawn it on me you'll be a better judge than I of men worthy of the weight of responsibility. Skinner, have you got a candidate for this job? All of the men in my department are quite young--too young for the responsibility.
Strikes me you were about twenty-eight when I threw ten thousand a year at you in actual cash, and a couple of million dollars' worth of responsibility.
You say Andrews has never been tested. Why hasn't he been tested? Why are we maintaining untested material in this shop, anyhow? Answer me that. Tut, tut, tut! Not a peep out of you, go getter pdf download, sir. If you had done your Christian duty, you would have taken a year's vacation when lumber was selling itself in andand you would have left Andrews sitting in at your desk to see the sort of stuff he's made of.
Why, he wasn't twenty-six years old. Skinner, you're a dodo! The killjoys like you who have straddled the neck of industry and throttled it with absurd theories that a man's back must be bent like an ox-bow and his locks snowy white before he can be entrusted with responsibility and a living wage, have caused go getter pdf download of our wars and strikes.
This is a young man's world, Skinner, and don't you ever forget it. The go-getters of this world are under thirty years of age.
Matt," he concluded, turning to his son-in-law, "what do you think of Andrews for that Shanghai job? He's been with us long enough to have acquired sufficient experience to enable him--" "Has he acquired the courage to tackle the job, Matt?
I assume that he has force and initiative. I know he has a pleasing personality. You've butted in, so I suggest you name the lucky man. He does possess sufficient force and initiative for his present job, but--" "But will he possess force and initiative when he has to make a quick decision six thousand miles from expert advice, and stand or fall by that decision? That's what we want to know, Skinner. Skinner replied with chill politeness, "that you conduct the examination. By the Holy Pink-toed Prophet!
The next man we send out to that Shanghai office is going to be a go-getter. We've had three managers go rotten on us and that's three too many. His head sank on his breast and he closed his eyes. Within ten minutes his private exchange operator called him to the telephone. His name is Mr. William E. Peck and he desires to see you personally. Peck into Cappy's presence.
The moment he was fairly inside the door the visitor halted, came easily and naturally to "attention" and bowed respectfully, while the cool glance of his keen blue eyes held steadily the autocrat of the Blue Star Navigation Company. Ricks, Peck is my name, sir--William E. Thank you, sir, for acceding to my request for an interview. Peck sat down, but as he crossed to the chair beside Cappy's desk, the old gentleman noticed that his visitor walked with a slight limp, and that his left go getter pdf download had been amputated half way to the elbow.
To the observant Cappy, the American Legion button in Mr. Peck's lapel told the story. Peck," he queried gently, go getter pdf download, "what can I do for you? I do not anticipate a refusal. Peck's engaging but somewhat plain features rippled into the most compelling smile Cappy Ricks had ever go getter pdf download. Ricks," he replied. I have always found, however, go getter pdf download, that before proceeding to sell goods I had to go getter pdf download the manufacturer of those goods something, to-wit--myself!
I am about to sell myself to you. You've sold me already, go getter pdf download. When did they sell you a membership in the military forces of the United States of America? I soldiered with the Knights of Columbus at Camp Keamy myself, but when they refused to let me go abroad with my division my heart was broken, go getter pdf download, so I went over the hill. Peck's heart considerably, establishing at once a free masonry between them. Whittling my wing was a go getter pdf download trifle, but my broken leg was a long time mending, and now it's shorter than it really ought to be.
And I developed pneumonia with influenza and they found some T. I've been at the government tuberculosis hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, for a year. However, what's left of me is certified to be sound. I've got five inches chest expansion and I feel fine. I have my head left--and my right arm. I can think and I can write, and even if one of my wheels is flat, I can hike longer and faster after an order than most.
