The sun is getting higher, and Rick's taking a much deserved break. The large doghouse with the broken chain and "Beware of Dog" sign is all a bluff. We all know Cokette (Coquette) is just a small, cute fuzz dog that's up in Mr. Z's office, helping him build a kit.

An argument has ensued between a local contractor and the shipping foreman over which radiators are specified on the order.

Red, the foreman of the coal operation, has put down is Life magazine to watch the fun as Rick continues to shovel coal. Hope Mr. Z doesn't see the case of Stuffy's beer they plan to get into later.

At the other end of the business, Skip has been sent to the woodpile for a board. Watch out for the wolf spiders!

The excitement of the argument has even made Mr. Z's shiftless cousin Marco come out to see what's going on. He's leaning on a broom, which is how you can usually find him, if he's not sneaking a nap somewhere.

Finally it's late afternoon and Skip is out shining the boss' brand new car. Unlike Marco, he's a go getter trying to get ahead.
