''Thats thirty-nve cents a pound" replied
Huntington.
"Haint you got something leetle better"
Yes said Huntington, going to another tub
ofthe very same kind OF butter. He knew the
storekeeper would not be satisfied IL he did not
show something better, and he was equal to the
occasion. "Here's some for fifty cents" said
Huntington, as he drew the trier out, and the
storelseeper's nose followed it from one end to
the other.
