their well known motto, Buy now
and pay later" is demonstrated to
the satisfaction of many pleased Gus
toners.
In this store we priced go-carts
from a dark c~omplexioned young mar
who approached us on entering. He
was not sure whether the go-carts
were in or not and called another
clerk to his assistance. The latter
wore a m%oustache and was also dark.
He will remember us telling him that
we would call again, as he had in
formed us that the go-carts not
%unpacked as yet, but was very willing
to show them to us. Before we left
| looked at the special couch bargains
at $12 and thought they were beau
ties.
On Thursday of this week | intend
to visit ID. Wolff e Co.'S store again,
between the hours of 10 a. m. and )
p. m. Be on the watch for me.
From here We strolled leisurely
along to Reynolds Brothers popular
department store. My wife's eyes be-
came glued at once to their attract
i've windows, the Easter display veri-
flying their claim as Middlesex coun-
tvs leading store. We stepped inside
and priced go-carts from a short mar
with a sandy moustache, stubby. He
wears his hair thin. The clerks are
very polite in here. Nearly all oil
them had a good look at me, but they
failed to recognize "SEXTON'S MYS.
FERROUS MAN." | think I'll bring
my boy around here Thursday some
time during the day and buy him q
suit of clothes, as he wants one OF
those box kites Reynolds Brothers
are presenting to all purchasers oil
boys suits and o%vercoats. Take the
tip now. Look for me also in Rey-
holds Brothers store next Thursday
between 10 a. m. and 5 pm.
From here we dropped in ScheueI
& Sons, groceries. Purchased a box
of social tea biscuits, just to be So
ciable. Young lady clerk at counter
in front of cashiers desk made the
sale. The heavy set male clerk will
remember me borrowing a pen-knife
from him to cut away some of my
wife's skirt binding which had caught
in her heel; the pen-knife did not
seem to be sharp enough, so he loan
ed me a pair of shears which answer
ed the bill.
Leaving. here We entered the five
and ten cent store. They were very
busy-foreign trade mostly. We
bought a little Easter chicken (toy)
from a short dark girl in left side of
store. The only male clerk in the
store sold my wife some veiling-one
and one-half yards. l inquired the
price. He remembers me, | guess.
The next place visited was the
Thomas West furniture store, where
we spent about fifteen minutes, look
ing at go-carts and kidding the tall
young man with light hair who al
most sold us the baby cart. The fell
low with the black moustache who
vas busy carrying furniture from the
rear of the store, rubbered at me
continually, but there was nothing
doing.
From this place, I walked to the
Packer House, where l spent fully
fifteen minutes. Spoke to a sandy
compleXioned man whose head was al
so growing through his hair. | no
ticed this after he had removed his
soft brown hat. This same party
handed me some writing paper and |
used two sheets of it right in the Of
flee while my wife waited for me in
the parlor. My nerve vas keyed up
to its highest pitch when | entered the
above place, but came away without
even a scratch. 1t was really a shame
to take the money.
After leaving the Packer House,
we dropped into Sections drug store,
buying a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria
which cost twenty-five cents. Both
made remarks about the weather
with tall w%hiskered man who made
sale and who didn't know us from
Adam. We also looked owe some
postcards. This visit was the result
OF a bet, as no one outside of Mr..
Sexton knows that | am the "Mys-
ferrous Mr.. Rallies"
After leaving Sections we passed
the dead line again Estate and
SMITH. On the curb stood Oficer
McDermott, Detective Jimmie O'Brien
and Chief Burke, together with three
