Peter Brown was a Conshohocken
grocer He was delivering some gro

when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages A few months
later Brown was on his rounds again
when he ran down and crippled an
old man. The man also sued, and so
large were the damages awarded him
by a generous jury that poor Brown
found himself actually ON the verge
Of ruin.
One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement. 'Fatherl'
