% wSk 'iiZ- if ' POP S INCORPORATION By Maurice Vincent iV-. mi 1' ms; O LD man Mason had been the proprietor of “Pop’s Popcorn Stand” for nearly fifty years and had loved every minute of it. But now he was sad. He was sad (be cause he was going to sell out the business. Angelia. his lovely daughter, re cently a graduate from a fancy finishing school in the East, hard ly considered a popcorn stand dig nified or important. And Angelia had said in front of Mom. “Pop. you simply mast sell that horrid old popcorn stand . . . you simply must!** Mom had agreed. “Shucks, “ muttered Pop. He was messing about; just rooting through his stand like the bewil dered and earnest old man he was. He really didn’t blame his daugh ter. 4ie had wanted Angelia to be better than himself or Mom. That’s why he had sent her to school at such a sacrifice and after yean of scrimping. But he )ust couldn’t consider the stand as Just anoth er popcorn stand. “Shoot,** he grumbled. “Pop’s Popcorn Stand is an Institution!” But finally, the old man had completely capitulated and the place was up tor sale. His heart wasn’t in it He had Just tacked up a very small, actually tiny, sign. And the sign read, in lower case, “for sale." Pop figured he had done his duty. The sign was back of die door where it was al most impossible to be seen. “Hello, old sport, how’s tricks?" Pop looked up to see his old friend. Judge Gillespie. “Hello. Judge.” said Pop wear- fly. The old Judge’s eyes twinkled. He had known Pop and the whole Mason family for many years. “How’s Angelia?” asked the Judge casually. The Judge stroked his trim white mustache carefully. “Angelia’s fine/* said Pop. “School’s out, eh?” The Judge made himaetf com fortable. “Learn a lot in those fancy schools." the Judge said. “Yeah," answered Pop bitterly. “Learn to be ashamed of your fa ther’s business!” The instant he said it he was ashamed. After all, he did want Angelia to be a somebody! The world moved fast and Angelia’s world looked down on anyone who made a living in a ... a ... a popcorn stand! “Wants you to sell out?” asked the Judge keenly. He sighed. “I might have known it!” Yes. she does.” admitted Po unhappily. He told the Judge th story and his old crony listen e- attentively. He ended the stoi by pointing dramatically to th tiny “for sale” sign. And the both old men laughed until tt tears ran down their leathei cheeks. ”Wbat you lack Is real clas? said the Judge carefully. “Huh?” said Pop, dumfounded “Yep/* answered the Judg “Your daughter Is absolute i right, old friend, and you reall should be ashamed of yourself fSf look was kind. “M’boy,” continued the Judge “There is just one solution to your problem . . you must move with the times!” Hie Judge consulted his finger tips. “Y’know as well as I do how these young people are today . you must have a front!” There was just a moment of stunned silence on Pop’s part. Then with wide grins ttye two crony's shook hands. Because from now on the popcorn stand would still belong to Pop but under a brand new name ... a brand new front. “Yes sir/’ said Pop grand ly. “From now on this place will be cafled “POP’S POPCORN EM PORIUM, INCORPORATED!** And Pop figured that with a name like that his women folks were just bound to keep the busi ness in the family.
