 The Douglas business men were telling tales of by-gone days. One said he knew man who was working ln the Treadwell mines who was so badly crippled he could hardly walk, all because he had corns that he had neglected to trim for 9 years. To beat that story the other merchant told of man who came in to buy a pair of shoes. The largest in the store appeared too small, and the salesman suggested that he take oil his sox and try a dry pair. The customer started taking off sock after sock, three and then the fourth pair, which were stuck so fast to his feet he had to shave them off with his pocket knife.
