Just so long as you do your work you will be all right.
The first man caught shirking his work closes then and there.
But I shall have to look to you for my own success.
I'll work _with_ you. I understand that we have strong
opposition ahead of us. Let's you and me take off our coats,
tighten our belts, sail in with our feet, our hands and our
heads--and beat the enemy to a standstill! Will you do it?"

"We will, you bet!" shouted the crew.

"We will beat them to a frazzle," added Rosie the Pig.

"That will be about all from you, Rosie," rebuked the
Missing Link.

"This car leaves at eight o'clock this evening. After we
get started, come in and I will give you all your assignments
for tomorrow. My friend, Teddy, has been promoted to the
position of press agent with the car, and a few other things
at the same time. Henry, you will attend to the paste-making,
beginning tomorrow. This being a billboard town, I am going
to skip it and get into the territory where the opposition
is stronger. I have arranged with the local billposters
to take care of the work here."

"That is all I have to say just now, boys. When you have
anything to ask or to suggest, you know where the office is.
Mr. Conley, will you please come to the office now? We have
quite a lot to talk over."
