Mr. Calworth slipped the knife from its sheath, and his eyes warmed as he examined it. He tested the blade with his thumb and shaved a couple of hairs from the back of his hand. When he turned to Jeff, he was interested.
"You specialize in this sort of thing?"
"We specialize in quality," Jeff said casually. "When we sell, we like to believe that the customer receives full value."

Jeff shrugged. "Look at it. Can that be mass-produced?"
"No," Mr. Calworth admitted. "What is your retail price on this knife?"
"Twenty dollars," Jeff said firmly.
"When do you intend to open your branch, Mr. Tarrant?"
"I'm not sure we will open it. At least, we won't until after much more extensive research."
"Would you care to make Ryerson your agent until you decide definitely?"
