[J. Reuben Clark]
[A carpet for the First Presidency's room, costing $3,800, had been ordered without authorization by the Committee on Expenditures, and purchased through ZCMI. Emily Smith Stewart [daughter of George Albert Smith] asked to look at it for approval, was shown it by the ZCMI man who handled all purchases for the Church on a 1% commission basis. The next day] Mrs. Stewart said her father wanted her to have a part of the commission on the carpet [but it was decided by ZCMI that the full commission, about $36, would go to their representative as usual.]
