<p>With a jolt you pull your car to the side of the road, and read the job sign that can't be over one day old: New Home of ABC Inc.; General Contractor, XYZ Construction Co. You think out loud, "I knew the property had been sold," and your eyes roam over the real estate sign with the angled "sold" sticker pro claiming to all that the agent has been successful. "Thought the job would have come out on the bid list by now," you mutter as you move back onto the road and head for your office. Later in the day you get the agent on the phone: "Jim, how did XYZ get the ABC job? I saw nothing on the builders' exchange about it." "John, XYZ has been negotiating with ABC for the past six weeks. They did one fine job of selling on old McDuff. Understand they just called on him out of the blue asking for a chance. They put the whole package together, plans and all." "Didn't that tightwad McDuff get another price, Jim?" "Sure did; two, as a matter of fact. He asked me to get two other contractors capable of doing design-build projects. He liked XYZ better. I don't know the prices, but I really feel those boys impressed McDuff by going to him. Were you planning to bid the job?" "Thinking about it," you answer, trying to sound very casual.</p>

The Letters of William and Catherine Booth: Founders of the Salvation Army: Extracted from the Booth Papers in the British Library and Other Sources

Catherine Booth

Camp Hill

William Booth was apprenticed to a pawnbroker at age eleven.  He began reading and educated himself so that he could become a minister.  Booth wanted to be an evangelist and when the Methodist church kept assigning him to pastoral work he left and began his own ministry.  This led to the founding of the Salvation Army.  The title In Darkest England was chosen after Booth had heard about the travels of Stanley in darkest Africa.   Booth proposes to help the poor in England.  He fought for universal social reforms.  Some of his ideas included a poor man's bank, model suburban villages, matrimonial counseling, lawyers and white chapel by the sea.
