"ENTER HERE TO GROW IN WISDOM"

That students from Chicago are acquiring new virtues in Cambridge, is well shown by the tale of the two young Harvard graduates from that great town who found themselves down to their last traveller's checque in Marblehead last summer. Walking along the less yachty reaches of the waterfront reaches despair they saw some fishermen unloading quintals of fresh cod from a smack, offering them at a very low price.

The Chicago boys had never seen so much fish at once in their life, and since Chicagoans have a well-known hunger for fresh salt-water fish, a Yankee money-making idea was promptly hatched. With their last pennies they bought a refrigerator truck; which they loaded with the sea-food; and set out with all haste toward Chicago. For a whole day they sped towards the Mid-Western metropolis with their fish. In a small hamlet near Erle, Pa., they stopped and put in a long-distance call to several of the largest Chicago hotels, clubs, and restaurants, telling each, "We are just leaving Marblehead, Massachusetts, with a truckload of fresh haddock, which we guarantee to have in Chicago in ten hours, by plane, train, and truck relays. Our prices are only a few cents over the Chicago market price. May we offer, etc....". By the next morning they had driven to Chicago, and sold all their fish, paid for the truck, and made a handsome profit besides.
