“What staff?”
“We’ll recruit from Riverview High, concentrating on the journalism majors. Now I think Jack Malone will be our new advertising manager.”
“Jack Malone! Why, Penny, he hasn’t an ounce of push.”
“I know, Lou. But his father is president of the Malone Glass Company. I figure if his son is in charge of advertising—”
“I get the idea,” interrupted Louise. “Penny, with a head like yours, we should land all the important accounts in town.”
“I aim to win several fat ones away from the Star,” Penny said with quiet confidence. “If we don’t, it will be bankruptcy before the first issue of the paper is off the press.”
Louise glanced dubiously at the dusty machinery.
“There’s no denying you’re a genius, Penny. Even so, I don’t see how you expect to get these presses running.”
“We’ll only need one.”
“True, but you can’t recruit pressmen or linotype operators from Riverview High.”
