land In Sweets yesterday. THE Manis-
tee man had been selling shingies TO an
Albany firm for several years On
every carload there was . kick either
the Car vas two or three thousand
short. or else there werc four or i've
thousand Gull shingles in the lot. The
manufacturer ut Manistec had repeat
edly allowed these claims. principally
because he didn't care to offend an
otherwise good customer. He Was con-
fdent II WIS down right stealing, but he
silently endured the robbery. One day
he personally superintended the loading
of a car for the Albany firm, and in the
course of week or two he received the
usual demand for rebate. He went
into the Office and figured up the
amount that had been allowed his east
ern customer on kicks Then he packed
his grip and started for Albany. The
morning after arriving there he walked
into his customers Office and asked Tor
/ the head of the firm. He was there.
/ The Manistee man wanted 90 know II
thew had any good shingles. They had.
They had the best shingles ever made.
Where did they get them! OF Blank 4
/ Co, Manistee. Never got a poor
shingle Of the firm in the course OF ten
years business. Then the Nanistce
man produced card labeled j. NJ.
Blank. The Albany dealer gazed at il
in painful silence. and the down trodden
citizen Of Manistee thought check for
siJO would just about square things. II
was promptly given 70 him. and tho
! Michigan manufacturer no longer sells
shingles in Albany. But be was too
swift for the efete east"
