First Sentence: "Some business houses think it pays to send out kid travelers in place of experienced, high-salaried men over a well-developed territory, on the theory that the samples sell the goods when once the accounts are opened," sneered a sandy-featured, red-headed drummer, named Gid Marsh, to a bunch of three other traveling salesmen, of which one was a bright, shrewd-looking boy of eighteen years.
Last Sentence: All we can say is that Joe ultimately went into the picture postal and booklet business himself and made a pile of money out of the business, the foundation of which he laid during his first trip when out on the road to success.
