the price is very low, compared with

1t is stated that the total value of

HENRY HARRIS PAWNsHOP.
How the Late Street Railway Magnate
Sold It for 5000,

The late Henry Hart, president of the
Third Avenue Railroad company, kept a
pawnshop in New York in the '40s. 1t
was at q Chatham street, in the building
now Occupied as a saloon near the Man
haitian entrance to the bridge. When he
gave up the pawns'hop to manage the
Third Avenue railroad he had the unre-
deemed goods carried from the shop to
the car stables, and for years they We're
stored in the loft of the barn at Sixty
fifth street and Third avenue. When he
lost control of the road his successors,
representing the Metropolitan company,
notified him to remove the goods imme-
diately, as they wished to renOvate the
building. Mr. Hart worried over the
matter. He had kept the goods together
for over 80 years and he was not willing
to part with them. He called his agent
Fauna Der, who looks after his business
affai.ts. and asked what was to be DONE
Being told that the only thing was to get
rid O fthe goods, Mr.. Hart sent Fauna Der
out to find a buyer. Buyers We're not
plentiful.
There are over 10000 suits of clothes,"
said Mr.. Hart.
Probably out Of style now" said Flu
haber.
Mr.. Harris agent went in cearch of
some one who would buy big pawnshop
so years old. 1t was job lot, and there
was only one man who would take
chances with it. William c. Reeber was
the man. He had just bought a gas house
up on the East Side, because the Consol-
idated Gas company had to make room
for city park.
The agent went around to Reeber and
said: It's a bargain. You can have
the lot for $5000."
"What?" exclaimed Reeber. Five
thousand for a secondhand pawnshop
so years old! Not on your life. 1 bought
q railroad cars and two graveyards for
800 yesterday"
Make it $4,000" said the agent.
