Friday January 21st 1977
Lunch with Richard Straub. He’s trying to get me to go on a buying trip to Montgomery Alabama. Gave him Historic Society stuff from Tuesday. Then he came with samples for spring buying.
Unpacked Roseville Pottery shipment. Pat O’Hara in with December report. With inventory figures we finally have 40% cost of goods sold, which showed $16,000 profit for December- at end of November it was $42!
To mother’s about 6 and had soup with her. Told her I was going to the Philippines and she didn’t let on Barry had told her Monday. Took Carl’s historic Marion tape but she showed no interest. Minnie Starner died [Rosina Brooks mother]. Called Rosanna and she was in bed after chemotherapy today
