"Well," said Mickey calmly, "there's making things, that's factories.
There's selling them, that's stores. There's doctors, and lawyers, that's
professional, like my boss. And there's office-holders, like the men he is
after, but of course you'd have to be old enough to vote and educated
enough to do business, and have enough money earned at something else to
buy your office; that's too far away. Now if you don't like the street,
there's the other three. The quickest money would be in the first two. If
you were making things, what would you make?"
"Automobiles!" said Junior.
"All right!" said Mickey, "we can try them first. If we can't find a
factory that you'd like, what would you rather sell?"
"Automobiles," said Junior promptly.
"Gee!" said Mickey. "I see where we hit that business at both ends. If we
miss, what next?"
"I don't know," said Junior. "I'll make up my mind when I have looked
around some."
"You can come closer deciding out here, than you can in the rush of the
streets," said Mickey.
