When he wants now shirt ho does
not go from store to store and take

he pays their bills. He mover thinks
of asking the grocer to put in another

he buys cord of wood or bushel of

little moro than the market price.

Of notice free, but when thore is q

asked to bid. After going tho rounds
and getting the price down below

nothing remarkable about it, only
that the printers are such blooming
