In Chinn.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman never puts his
name outside of his shop, but paints
instead a motto, or a list of his goods,
on his vertical sign board. Some re-
assuring remark is frequently added,
such as "One word hall, "A chlId two
feet high would not be cheated"
Every single article has to be bar
