Have you got your copy all ready? asked the man, nervously.
gpt
There is no time to spare.
human
Here it is,
gpt
I thought you were to have a full page?
human
So I am, according to contract,
gpt
But there are only half a dozen lines here.
human
That's all.
gpt
Oh, you want a display ad.?
human
No--at least not the kind you mean. I want those few lines repeated over and over again until the entire space contracted for is filled.
gpt
You want it printed solid?
human
That's it.
gpt
But I could give you a much more attractive ad. We can get up a full-page display ad. that would be simply out of sight.
human
I don't doubt it, but I want another kind.
gpt
All right, said the foreman, with a pitying sigh;
human
That's the idea.
gpt
Please don't look at the queer old man in the third row of the orchestra.
human
That's a strange ad.,
gpt
Is it?
human
I never saw anything like it before.
gpt
Well?
human
Well, do you want it to go in just as you have written it?
gpt
I do.
human
Without any attempt at display?
gpt
Without the slightest attempt at display.
human
That goes, then. Good-night; I must get the men at work on this at once.
gpt
I've done all this on my own responsibility, reflected Al, as he left the place.
human
If it turns out a fizzle, Mr. Wattles won't have so much confidence in me in the future. Well, there's no use fretting now; the thing is done. If it doesn't work I shall know enough not to repeat the experiment.
