TO DRAW AND HOLD TRADE

"Most of U.S." said Mr.. Shovelton, "are looking ou,
trouble with most of us is that we don't do this

some years ago stopped at store where liked
the looks of the fruit and where noticed mo

than those had been accustomed to find.
"And when this dealer had put the fruit in one Of
these bags he didn't simply twist the neck of II
and hand it over to me in form inconvenient
to carry. He folded the top of the bag over and
rolled it down to form handle-a grip piece; and
then he tied this bundle around securely with
Irvine, thus making it up altogether into bundle
that secure and handy to carry.
"Of course l liked all that, and l found that he
always did up his packages putting some
times a wood and wire handle: but always he made
the package secure and handy for me. He had
some thought for me. and I've been buying of him
ever since; and II he should move I'd follow him
l would go out of my way to trade with him.
"The moral is this: Any small storekeeper, Il
his goods are right, build up a trade and hold

human quality that prompts him faithfully to con,

Kings school, Canterbury. Justus, on
