vENDERs' VARIED OFFERINGS
Crowded Streets of the
Metropolis.

There's no end TO the odd things that
vendors and fakirs sell in the city
streets; that is, things that seem odd
until one reflects that many Of the
wants of men are alike everywhere, in
town and country, and that among the
myriads Of passers-by in busy street
there are people who want practically
everything that is made, and who will
buy a thing If it is presented to view.
Thus it always seems odd, however
often it may be seen, to see in busy
city street a man standing on the side
walk Offering soldering irons for sale,
but in the constantly passing throng
there are some people, a few at least
who want soldering irons.
Another thing that always looks Curl
Gus in a busy city street is the push
cart full of files; all sorts and sizes of
files, but there must be a demand for
them or the man wouldn't come back
Standing on the curbstone, facing the
sidewalks, in a downtown street the
other day was a man selling shears;
nothing but shears. He held up his
hands with shears hanging on his fin
gers to catch the eye from among those
passing there of anybody who hap
pened to want shears.
/ There was a man standing on lit
lie pile of boards in a waterside street
the other day selling carving knives
and forks. The fork was made Of a
single piece of steel wire twisted into
shape; the knife had a skeleton handle
Of steel riveted to the blade. So they
were not costly TO make, but they were
sold marvelously cheap; and they wen
Off like hot cakes. And Il might seen
like curious place to bring carving
knives and forks to sell, down by tho
river among the steamships; but Their
couldn't have been found better place
These carving knives and forks were
bought one after another right along
by men who work on the Waterfront
and by others whose work or business
brought them there to carry home.
There is doubtless something in thu
selection of certain points at which Il
/, offer certain things, but II is probabl
b that anything that might be offered il
/ the city's streets would find, at on
place or another, some buyers from
2 among the city's multitudes.-N. Y
