At the end of the day he would leave his office carrying a pocketful of these "worry" cards. He lived in a residential district outside Chicago and had a fence around his house with a mailbox at the gate. Arriving home, he would take the cards from his pocket and put them in the mailbox.

So I am putting them in this box and leaving them in Your hands while I have a peaceful evening with my family and a good night's sleep. I will come by in the morning and pick them up again."

And he would tear te card up and throw it away. He would look at another and say to himself, "Well, this does still bother me, but I think I see an answer to it." That card he would put back in his pocket and if, come evening, the worry it represented was still with him, he would again leave it in the mailbox. : "I have been doing this now for years," he told us.
