Meet the young* man who delivers the goods, 
Everett Curtis Long. Middle name and good 
looks inherited from his mother. As Andy 
would say, he comes from a long line of 
Curtises. 
And he didn’t come any too soon. Has been 
the junior member of the firm since graduating 
from our state university a few years ago. 
Fills a Long felt want. Sure great for me, 
and for you also, to have him on the job. 
In general, I spend much of my time in the 
office, while Ev looks after the production 
or growing end of the business. But I still 
haunt the fields, eager to see the flowers bloom, 
especially the new varieties. And at times 
offer some suggestions, though Ev is handling 
this growing problem so much better than I 
could that my worries in that line are over. 
What helps still more is the fact that Ev 
has relieved me of every bit of the work and 
headaches in connection with accounting and 
making out the many income, social security, 
and various tax reports to state and federal 
authorities. Ev took to that like a duck to 
water. And when his reports are turned in 
they are correct, thanks be. 
Still more. You probably wonder what in 
Sam Hill is left for ME to do. Believe you 
me, there’s plenty, plus. Everett pitches in 
and helps with the orders, the correspondence, 
the catalogue work, and all that. It’s good for 
him and good for the business, both now and 
eventually. The day must come when Ev will 
have to take over, though I hope to stick 
around for quite a while yet. 
Ev and I have many things in common. 
He scales the highest mountain peaks, on 
foot. I climb as far as the Ford can get a toe¬ 
hold and let it go at that. We both weigh our 
words. Ev weighs his before speaking. I 
weigh mine after talking. We both went 
through the Colorado state university here at 
Boulder. Ev sauntered along, taking four 
years. I made it in one afternoon fiat, as the 
guest of the superintendent of buildings. Ev 
won Phi Beta Kappa. I’m a charter member 
of the Alfalfa Belts. 
By the way you ought to see Colorado’s 
university. It’s great. Getting bigger and 
better from year to year. Many come for a 
term or two in summer. Almost like taking a 
vacation for folks “back east’’. Climate is 
naturally air conditioned. Days not very hot. 
Nights always cool. Ideal for classes and 
“home work”. High grade instructors. Week 
end hikes and beefsteak fries in the mountains 
—hey, if I say more I’ll be talking myself 
into going back for post graduate work. 
Suggestions: Write to University of Colo¬ 
rado for -information about summer school— 
and usual courses as well. Write Boulder 
Chamber of Commerce for interesting booklet 
about Boulder and its environs. Write Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce, Estes Park, Colorado, for 
nifty folder concerning Estes Park and Rocky 
Mountain National Park, where Long’s Peak 
resides and presides. 
The rhymes that through these pages run 
Are not by Mary Livingston. 
My modesty (you know so well!) 
Won’t let me come right out and tell 
Just who the author really is. 
But you might ask “Professor Quiz.” 
Or, if you think he’s any wiser, 
'Then page the great “Professor Kyser.”
