"Then clear out of this," said Feldman and pushed a button on his desk to inform the office-boy that he was ready for the next client.
As Leon passed through the outer office he encountered Ike Herzog of the Bon Ton Credit Outfitting Company, who was solacing himself with the Daily Cloak and Suit Record in the interval of his waiting.
"Good morning, Mr. Herzog," Leon exclaimed. "So you got your troubles, too."
"I ain't got no troubles, Leon," Ike Herzog said, "but I got to use a lawyer in my business once in awhile. Just now I'm enlarging my place, and I got contracts to make and new people to hire. I hope you ain't got no law suits nor nothing."
"Law suits ain't in my line, Mr. Herzog," Leon said. "Once in awhile I change my working people, too. That's why I come here."
"Sometimes you change 'em for the worse, Leon," Herzog commented, indicating Abe Potash's effective ad with a stubby forefinger. "You certainly made a mistake when you got rid of Louis Grossman. He's turning out some elegant stuff for Potash & Perlmutter."
Leon nodded gloomily.
"Well, we all make mistakes, Mr. Herzog," he said, "and that's why we got to come here."
"That's so," Herzog agreed, as Leon opened the door. "I hope I ain't making no mistake in what I'm going to do."
"I hope not," Leon said as he passed out. "Good morning."
