A permanent wave leads to a permanent change of life.A permanent wave leads to a permanent change of life. It was very lonely in my room, but it had been lonely in all of the rooms I had lived in. My Mother and Father had been killed in a car, bus accident during my first semester at college, Since I had no other relatives and no money of my own I had sold their house and with the life insurance money and the settlement from the bus company, I was relatively well off. I had decided to continue at college and was able to live well and pay all of my tuition. But now having graduated with a major in photographic journalism, and minors in business and computer science, I had barely over $ 250,000 left. I know that seems like a lot of money but at the present low interest rates it only provides $ 17,000 annual income. I had sworn to myself not to spend any more of the principle, so I needed some work real soon. I was determined to make it as a photo journalist, but so far had not been able to land a position in that field. I guess I will take a look through the trade papers again, maybe something quick will show up. "Hey here is one" I exclaimed. "Leading Professional Beauty Magazine desires complete set of photos, start to finish, of a patron receiving a machine permanent wave. Photos needed to illustrate article on the history of permanent waves. Fee $2000 will advance half on receipt of signed contract. Contact Ms. Sybil Smythe, --- Chicago, IL 312-3---2---" Wow, a little panic always livens things up! I have already spent most of the advance, and after phoning 34 beauty shops I haven't found any that still use machines to give permanent waves. The last shop I called gave me the name of one that might still use this method, and it is only a couple of blocks from here. |
