TO. said a knife expert from behind
the counter of store ON one Of the most
frequented Of down town streets.
"Spaniards spend the most money for
knives. " he continued "Spaniards who
come here are very fastidious in the
matter of cutlery anyway. Where an
American family in the same circurs-

"A man who buys that will take it
TO the Adirondacks, and when he leaves
there present it TO his guide. We have
one customer who buys three of those
knives every year. He gives them to his

them every year. This heavy one here

hoof 1t has. as you see, other attach
ments, such as a corkscrew, screwdriver,
nut cracker, awl, gimlet and n score of
things for other useful or useless pur-
poses. according to the point of view.
We sell many Of them, probably more
than any other one kind. Sailors usual
ly buy pretty good knives. They and
Italians go in for big, sharp knives that
should be handy in case of defense.
Pretty nearly every trade has peculiar
knife. That's one reason why well
equipped cutlery shop makes such a for
midable display Knives cost all the
way from 90 cents to $25. We don't sell
many at the latter price. New York
