A good story is told OF the offer OF
2 certain New Ulm merchant to pay
The railroad fare of anyone who came
from outside OF New Ulm and
purchased $40 90 worth of goods at
his store during recent sale. That
The Review carried the offer abroad
and brought customers from con-
siderable distance is MOTTO be doubted,
At any rate, one morning 3 stranger
entered the store and asked If the
proposition was still in force. The
:lerk assured him that it was and the |
prospective customer blandly an
,ounced that he had receipt for his
fare amounting to S27.35 and
would take $40 worth OF socks. The
'lerk couldn't figure out the per.
'entage Of profit on the transaction
Ind called his employer who when he
'eard the story, like true sportsman,
admitted that the joke was on him
md expressed his willingness to live
lp to his published promises. The
Granger, however, was only enjoying
J joke and Withdrew his order for the
locke. The incident goes to show that
he merchant was the right kind OF q
oser, game to the end.
