Running the town liquor agency is not
generally considered a snap, so that when
the agent gets hold OF a good thing he is
entitled to feel good. Our Randolph agent, /
as Is well known, combines the business
OF dealing out the proper amount Of juice
to keep things running with several other |
lines. al which the sale Of clocks and jew !
elry is one. Some time ago a fellow came /
i'm and made known his liquid wants, but /
Agent Joslyn suspicionedlhis customer and 1
declined him in that smooth manner that /
Fred can assume so well. The fellow hung /
around and finally bought a nice watch /
chain. Then he again made modest re-
quest for a pint, but Fred once more turn
ed him aside Not yet abandoning hope,
the stranger pointed to an alarm clock on
the shelf and without moments inspec
ton parted with the price and took the
timepiece. With complete confidence, he
then produced his flask, but Fred was
adamant on that point. keep on buy
ing, he advised. but the profitable custo-
mer quit at that stage of the game.
