Tannenbaum Lays Down the Law

Note to the advertiser: Tannenbaum is always at home, if your salesman is the Jewish Daily Bulletin.

Morris Tannenbaum was angry. And when Tannenbaum is angry patience is not one of his virtues.

His good wife Rachel, aware of his increasing interest in things Jewish, of his careful scanning of newspapers for Jewish news and of his recent subscription to the Jewish Daily Bulletin, greeted him at the dinner table with a choice bit of gossip.

“The Blank restaurant refuses to rent its banquet rooms to a Jewish organization” This announcement was delivered with an emphatic shake of the head. The story was true because Mrs. Greene’s Sister Clara, who is a friend of Vera Spiegel’s brother-in-law whose wife was rebuffed by the Blank manager had told her.

It was at this point that Morris Tannenbaum exploded. He was a good Jew, yes; he was careful in patronizing business establishments friendly to the Jews, yes; but he was not a fool to fall for every bit of gossip that was reported by a bunch of “busybodies.”

He knew personally that the Blank Company contributed annually to the Federation of Jewish Charities; he remembered being waited on by a Jewish waiter there; what is more, if there was any truth in these rumors, the Jewish Daily Bulletin would have carried the story.

When Tannenbaum is aroused Rachel does not argue back; — and under the tress of emotion, he is an excellent prospect for the advertiser.
