Harry Brown found a trade dollar
among his assets the other day, and
swore little under his breath be-
cause somebody had cheated him.
But last Monday he threw it onto a
counter to show somebody that it was
counterfeit, when 10, it opened like
locket and on the inside was the pic
ture of beautiful-man The god
dess side of the dollar is hinged to the
rim so skilfully that when it is
closed no one would suspect the coin
had ever been tampered with. Some
body probably made it or had it made
for q pocket piece and paid it out by
accident. What Harry wants now is
to find the man and get dollar re-
ward for bringing his trinket back
to him.
The great trouble with too many
lola people is that they spend so
much time "getting figures" on things.
1t is all right to be careful, and if a
man is talking about a big contract it is
proper that he should let two or more
firms compete on it. But when a man
wants his shoes half-seled it is small
to 90 to every shoemaker in town and
have him "bid" on it, And it is just
as small to potter around with little
job OF printing, or bit of tin work, or
carpenter work, or thything of the
sort and make all the shops in town
bid on it. When you want anything
of that kind the right way is to walk
into the shop and say. "Here is a
little work / want done. Fix it up
and send in the bill" When every
body does that then everybody will
get a fair living price for his work,
and every body will have more money
and we will have q better town.
