`` He 's worth it , Abe , believe me , '' said Leon , as they shook hands on the bargain . `` And now let 's fix it up right away . '' Half an hour later , Abe , Louis Grossman and Leon Sammet entered the spacious law offices of Henry D. Feldman , who bears the same advisory relation to the cloak and suit trade as Judge Gary did to the steel and iron business . The drawing of the necessary papers occupied the better part of the day and it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that the transaction was complete . By its terms Sammet Brothers in consideration of $ 1,033.33 paid by Potash & Perlmutter , released Louis Grossman from his contract , and Louis entered into a new agreement with Potash & Perlmutter at an advance of a thousand a year over the compensation paid him by Sammet Brothers . In addition he was to receive from Potash & Perlmutter five per cent . of the profits of their business , payable weekly , the arrangement to be in force for one year , during which time neither employer nor employee could be rid one of the other save by mutual consent .
