He was ambitious, earnest, honest,
and a hard worker. All the qualifi

Hiroshi obtained a position with
the Hirashima Shoten, a large dealer
in chinaware and dry goods.
The pay wasn’t much, but it was
a grand chance. So Hiroshi decided
to make this his life work. He started
in the stock room, later became a
salesman, and then worked in the
office. Then he became chief clerk
in the office.
But that was as far as Hiroshi went.
Today after a long decade, he is still
with Hirashima, but there is not the
light of optimism and hope that once
glistened in his dark, deep-set eyes..
He still gets $125 a month.
He told me that he has been getting
the same salary for five years now.
