"I noticed that, too," said Jack. "But anything they've got that we can use, we can't afford not to buy, at the prices they ask."

"My communications man thinks he can fix your comm—television set so it will be all right, if you can bring us a technical manual on television sets. I hate to ask you to go to such trouble—"
"What! You mean you've got a television repairman who doesn't have a manual on the things?"
"Not on the type you need," said the clerk apologetically. "It wouldn't matter what brand or trade name the manual applies to."
"Why can't you have your communications man go out and buy his own?" demanded Ken. "Or order one?"
