10 years. The reason affords q strik-
inn illustration of the supersttious ma

have bis name inscribed on the prem
ises. Whether this fact had anything
b do with the success of the. business
ar not Il would be difficult to say.
Trade, however, was brisk. and the
butcher duly retired, leaving the name
less shop to his son. The business has
been handed down from father to son
for more than 100 years, but none OF
