medicines from the side of a buggy,

speciality was the sale of glass cutters.
and when he died he left seventv-fivc
thousand dollars. Tom Wood was an
other. He sold razor strops, dentifrice

taking stains from your coat, stains
from your vest and stains from your

that if there was anybody in the aud.
