W:What have you got here?
M:Requests for advertising space from the different departments.
W:There must be a couple of dozen of them.
M:Yes, every department in the store must be having a sale this week.
W:How much space do we have?
M:We’re only got through to meet half of these requests.
W:Then we are going to have to make some decisions.
M:Yes, we certainly are. I suppose we should go through all these requests.
W:Well, this one on top is from the children’s department, but their sale doesn’t begin until next week.
M:You can put it aside then. What’s the next one?
W:From furniture, and their sale starts tomorrow. They’ve got some really good bargains, too.
M:What about women’s clothes?
W:There are half a dozen of them—women’s dresses, young women’s sports wear, coats, shoes...
M:These departments all bring in a lot of business, you know.
W:Then let’s advertise them tomorrow. A full page for women’s department and a half page for furniture.
