ploycs have always been as much bene-
fitted by the box of sugar as their en-
ployer. as he would generously place
it at their disposal.
1t is not SO this year. Things have
changed since the merchant was
younger, perhaps it's his better half s

When the box arrived the employees
looked on with watering mouths, while
the manager inspected the box, and
each one was ready to go at their mas
ter's bidding, to get the tools for open

collection. or in other words 'chipped
in, and bought a 2oodly amount Of
