Bootblaek shrewd Business Man

The sight of a man borrowing $l00 from the bootblaek in an uptown hotel barber shop the other Sunday morning rather startled some of the customers who were seated in the place. The man that borrowed the hundred is a race track man and was only temporarily embarrassed. The customers didn t pay as much attention to him as they did to the size of the roll that the boot 'blaek carried. This bootblack, by the way, seldom musses up his hands over pair of shoes. He has three boys to look after that work and his duties consist of seeing to it that customers get to chairs in proper turn. His easi- est money, however, comes from the sale of collars. A lot of folk in the neighborhood of the hotel on Sunday and other mornings haven t been home the night before. They know that col lars are to be had at the barber shop. Of course, the customer diseards his dirty collar and it is gathered up by the bootblaek, who has the soiled ones laundered and sells them over again. He charges 25 cents for each collar, no matter what it cost originslly.-New York Sun.
