and all that We can also advise on office layouts, to save time and avoid inefficiency..
GORGONDALE: We have already planned the new offices.
SHUTTLEWORTH:- You mean... you've already obtained quotations from other
firms?
GORGONDALE: Yes.
SHUTTLEWORTH: I see. Well, I'm sure you'd like to see our latest range-It's called
the 'Standfirm'. It had a huge success at the recent business exhibition in London-
This is the catalogue. Here you have the top executive desk. for people like yourself.
Very imposing and dignified, don't you think?
GORGONDALE: It's big enough, certainly.
SHUTTLEWORTH: Then we have this smaller desk. They're all made of this new,
absolutely stain-proof material. It will go on looking like a new piece of' furniture
when your grandchildren are running the business-
GORGONDALE: I am not married, Mr. Shuttleworth.
SHUTTLEWORTH: Oh well... er... plenty of time for that... And this, as you see, is
the typist's desk; this one a draughtsman's desk, and so on. All of them are the same
height, and you can use them separately or grouped together.
GORGONDALE: Hmm. Very nice. I'm sure. But your prices, Mr-Shuttleworth,
That's what interests me.
SHUTTLEWORTH: Ah' Our prices are most reasonable. You can't find this long-
lasting furniture at cheap prices. There is certainly cheaper office equipment on the
market. But when you look at the quality and the finish I think we have no rivals.
GORGONDALE:
Quite so, quite so. All very interesting. I'm sure- But cost. Mr.
Shuttleworth. Your prices are much too high. Look at these wastepaper bins — twice
what I'd pay for them elsewhere. They're just not competitive-
SHUTTLEWORTH: Oh, but they're highly competitive when you consider quality...
GORGONDALE: Well. you talk of quality. I'm not even sure about that.
Those dozen staplers we ordered from you the other week: they arrived this morning
and half of them don't work properly.
SHUTTLEWORTH: Really? I can't believe it. They are the very latest design.
GORGONDALE: Here you are- Here's one of them. Try it yourself You see, it clips
two or three pages all right and Then the metal staple falls out, all bent.
SHUTTLEWORTH: Yes, you're right. There is something wrong. But it can't be any
thing serious. Let me see now. Here it is. Very simple. This anvil on to which the
staples are pressed is wrongly placed, and so when the staples are pressed from the
magazine they don't hold properly. I'm very sorry, Mr- Gorgondale. I'll report it
immediately. If you'll let me have the others I'll correct them at once.
