A Conversation Aboard the Twentieth Century Limited


The Twentieth Century Limited makes its way towards Cleveland.  A discussion hangs in the diner heavy as the aroma of the fine cigars.  "What about the market?"
"Surely you can't be concerned with volume?  Take this cigar.  I simply enjoy it.  Must you be concerned with volume?
"You must be focused on the details, not on volume."  The lonely steam whistle blows out the window as the Dreyfus Hudson hurries the train on its way.
"I focus on quality, not on volume.  Take this steak.  Just the right amount of marbling.  The New York Central does a wonderful job.  Quality, my good man, quality."  The Twentieth Century Limited rolls onward to Cleveland and its destination of LaSalle Street Station, Chicago.
