Short stories; United States -- Social life and customs -- 20th century -- Fiction
Where the car turns at Eighteenth Street there is a big, glaring
billboard poster, showing a group of stalwart young men in white ducks
lolling on shores, of tropical splendor, with palms waving overhead, and
a glimpse of blue sea in the distance. The wording beneath it runs

advancement. Good pay. No expenses."
When I see that sign I think of Eddie Houghton back home. And when I
think of Eddie Houghton I see red.
