A Good Scout

EVEN at the risk of loud asidesj involving glass dwellingrplaces and small pebbles, it must be said that a pretty fair leavening of advertising men know how to make a thing sound : tasty. . '• . ' . . ■■..;'■... OurJ commonplace cups of cocoa come under the spell of the advertising man's wand — -and within the batting of a single eyelid one finds the humble drink transformed' into a .smooth, tantalizing elixir which sends; your .spirits to the mountains. Breathing this air of unbounded; optimism arid exhaling the spirit of goodfellowship, "Bai'ney Google" Murray ("Ronald! 1 to others) knows how to r tell the story, whatever the purpose and whenever the occasion. His expeditious nature has carried him through fields sedentary and labors manual, from copy chutes to stokehold firebars, for when the seamen downed tools, Murray forsook the pen for the shovel, literally shovelling his way to England. From his managerial chair ,m the Auckland office of Gordon and Gotch, he exudes the happiest of bedside manners. The pills he tips from his little boxes of memory are a stimulating antidote to the mq^e bitter tastes of cost accounts and. systems.
