He wanted Something which Th\
Didn't Keep In stock
There was sign over the door of
the music store which read; Banjo
and other musical clubs supplied" :"
One day man with strange look in
his eye came in and approached the
clerk nervously.
'Do you," he asked, with half
look at the sign, supply banjo
clubs?"
"Yes. SIR" responded the clerk.
What can do for you?"
81 want one" said the customer,
with a snap, "and 1 want it big and
hard"
II beg your pardon" replied the
clerk, observing with anxiety the
strange look of his visitor.
81 said wanted one" repeated the
man. 'and 1 want it big and hard"
II don't understand you, sir" STAN
mered the clerk, backing off.
Don't understand?" exclaimed the
customer. That's plain enough.
You say you supply banjo clubs and
say want one"
But, sir" began the clerk.
"Let up on that" growled the man,
getting ugly. "What ] want is a
banjo club, and want il now. There's
a fellow roomin' next to me that is
learnin' TO play on one Of the CON
founded things, and / want club
that will fit the case TO a nicely, and
see what can do toward havin' it my
way for while. Do you follow"
And the clerk felt keen relief in
following.
