income was small; needs a-plenty. |
But what of that =? The stores were
relentless. Some were notable for
high prices; others catered to 'popu-

for keeps. Stores didn't take goods
back; very seldom even allowed ex-
changes for other goods. If, in

to please. But it is useless to repeat
this part. Everybody knows that
what is bought in haste or in error
can be taken back, and shopping is
really pleasure.
