"Men wanted for hazardous Journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success."* A good description of the trading profession when recruiting a newbie. *Recruitment ad for Shackleton's Antartic Expedition. The Times, London, 1913.
I think the Donner Party sign up sheet said pretty much the same except to also bring some extra salt and toothpicks... cj... __________________ HAVE STOP - WILL TRADE If You Have The Vision We Have The Code
