Dear Doc Allen:

When you introduced me to Warren Woody in Chicago
you introduced me to an amazing character,

Even at this late date I am not quite sure whether
he is real, mythical, or just a creation of the
imagination, But perhaps I had best go back and
pegin at the beginning,

Arned with letters: of introduction from you and
Prof, Flint I descended upon Chicago at the end of
August. Hoping against hope that I could "crash"
the big city I walked into the offices of Mr. Woody
and Mr, Younggreen.

Mr. Woody treated me like a father, He wined and dined
me at the Chicago Athletic Club and we talked about
K.U.'s football fortunes, college memories, jobs, and
many others,.... I have seen people give others such
consideration many times,- but it has been because
they expected big returns.... Maybe a big order for
their company and commissions.... But Mr. Woody had

a Ssincereity and a desire to help another such as I
have never seen,.. Perhaps that is why his office
wall" covered with portraits autographed: "Io my friend
Warren Woody"

Telling me that I'd make a grand insurance salesman
he offered me a job with his agency. With the explana-
tion that I wanted to do something else.... something
that I liked to do..... Mr. Woody pitched in and

gave his help so that I might find the right kind of

a job.

Mr. Younggreen did the same thing and between them
they introduced me to the entire executive personnel

of advertising in Chicago and New York, I have made
some grand tcontacts' on Time Inc, MeGraw Hill, Crowell
Publishing Co., Hearst Magazines, N.B.C.,; and many
other places,
