the Globe Clothing Company.
An amusing story Is going tho rounds
OF an agent who visited the Globe Cloth
ing house Tuesday. The commercial
mans name Ia Charles L.. Holberstadt,Jr.,
representing we'll known pant firm in
New York. Curt Smith was standing In
the front part Of the store endesvoring to
sell a young man pair of those "never-
rip" pantaloons while Manager Agnew
busted himself in the rear portion of the
store trying to tell ruralite the good
qualities ofa coat and vest which the
man contemplated purchasing. Holber>
stadt, swinging his sample case, his hat
thrown back far upon his head and his
countenance wreathed in pretty smiles,
came into the door and asked for the
manager.
"You will find him back there with his
coat of" said Smith.
With strides which might have indicat-
ed big sales Of his goods, Holberstadt
walked to the rear of the store. The ru-
ralite had his coat off just then, and as he
appeared the senior of Agnew the agent
approached him. He handed him his card
and opened his sample case displaying
his goods.
Anything needed In this line Just
now 2" asked Charles. And he proceeded
to display his goods.
"Wall, no, but as soon as kin sell my
wool / might buy a suit OF you,n replied
the customer, and the agent carefully re-,
placed his samples and marched out OF
the store, unconscious'that he hadn't met
the manager, but had tackled poor far
mer instead. Holberstadt is still travelling,
but the boys won't allow him him to rest
after this story leaks out.
