The story
takes place during a warm season in 1931 at the Baxter Coffee Warehouse in New
York City. James Ogden MacDonald is a new salesman earning $25 a week. In order
to win the $25,000 prize along with a 2-year sales contract to Maxford House
Coffee, MacDonald submits a slogan to Maxford House's slogan contest. Just as
he is being fired by J. Bloodgood Baxter because he had brought a phonograph to
work, a letter arrives informing him that he has won the prize.
Just a quick link to my new Tumblr blog.
Well, not so much a blog as a space to throw links to stuff I like or
find interesting, with the odd comment or two. As I noted in my last post,
‘real’ blogging is on the back burner while I finish my thesis, a task that is
going very slowly. In the meantime, if you are interested in what I’m thinking
about (mostly development and politics, in New Zealand and Latin America, with
some feminism and academic trivia for good measure) head over to
See you there!
