dogs but do not have the energy to give them long walks; by invalids, and by
business people who cannot find time regularly for this duty. In Chicago,
another group has also developed a dog-walking, dog-washing and dog-
clipping service for busy dog owners.

Another service for dogs, developed in New York, is what is called the
“Puppy Club.” The Park Lane Hotel inaugurated the “Puppy Club,” which is
located on the roof. Here dogs may lunch, snooze, play or be groomed while
their owners have their luncheon in the hotel dining room. The pup’s owner
may leave him all afternoon, if he wishes, to sun himself. An expert
veterinary prescribes diet and treatments. The space used for the purpose is so
located that it is suitable for nothing else and the equipment and decorations
are both inexpensive. The idea has not only brought in money for otherwise
wasted space, but it keeps the canine pets of hotel guests and visitors out of
the hotel proper.

What One Man Did with an Old Truck

Bradley was out of a job. In the small town of Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin, there

something to do. From time to time, of course, he would pick up a little job
here and there, but nothing that was permanent.

One day he was walking around his little place trying to decide what to do,
when he happened to glance at an old truck chassis in his garage. Perhaps he
could get some work trucking if he could fix the old machine up, was his
thought. A junk yard a few blocks away furnished the material for a body and
when it was put on the truck and painted, James Bradley was ready for work.

Business was hard to get at first. Both he and his wife kept eyes and ears
open for any possible chances of trucking jobs. The first job was hauling the
household goods of a local resident who was moving to Milwaukee. Another
similar job in a near-by town turned up, and gradually he found himself
