roasting ears, and possessing a strong
commercial instinct, McAlister was re.
minded that there existed a certain de.
mend for perfectly good roasting ears
A matter Of days wore on and Mr.
Taylor noticed that his corn field was
disappearing and certain local mer-
chants were buying fine lot of roast
