The fellow who pulled down the
cluster of strawb berries in the window OF
the INDEX Office last Sunday displayed
more gall than he did good manners. A
few Strawberries is a little thing but
this particular cluster was well worth
displaying. At least we thought so, and
went to the trouble of placing them in
the window where everyone could see
them. We want to say to such people
that this office and what it contains is
private property and we prefer that il
be treated as such. Please let things
alone.
