the Manager or the Clerk of the Manager or some one in that
F. W. Woolworth store. Here is one from Wilkesbarre itself
(Deft's. Ex. 18), that is from the head office itself. Here
is one from St. Joseph, Mo. (Deft's. Ex. 14) viz. St. Louis, that
bears the validation stamp of the St. Louis head office. You
gentlemen understand these people are great big people, a great
big syndicate, and they have to do their clerical work according
to a system that is correct. Now, then, that was the first
operation on these orders after we separated them from the
other mail, and we hand that on to our Superintendent. I am
showing you about the acknowledgment stamp, because it is
important, first because it shows the acknowledgment of the
order, and who acknowledged it, and secondly shows the date
on which the orders were received at my office. To the best
of my recollection, these acknowledgment cards were given to
the office boy to post, after Miss Hall had made them out.
Now, in reference to the work that I did on these orders,
starting here with order 7187 (Deft's. Ex. 14-24), and con-
tinuing through 7197, that is not such an easy job as you
would have been led to believe; in the first place, next to the
serial number, there is a series of initials, and those ini-
tials stand for the salesman who is credited with the order; in
other words, if a man at the end of the year wants to get certain
commissions on orders that come in, we have to very carefully
look over those orders to see to whom or to which salesman or
to which commission house or which distributing agent that
order is credited, so therefore it takes a good deal of judg-
ment and knowledge to know just to which salesman to credit,
and sometimes, I can't say that it was incorrect that morning,
but it might have been, sometimes I have to go through a world
of names to find just to whom a certain name is to be credited.
Then I enter in the various orders here, too, the next column
