After the conclusion of his interview
with Isaac Meiselson, Shimko repaired
Immediately to lamps tailoring es

ers sufficient to throng Harry lamps
store for the entire day.
"You would see how smooth the
whole thing goes" Klinkowitz declared
after he had concluded his arrange

tiers, members from a union already,
and the statesmen works for years by
couple concerns on Park Row"
"And the customers?'' camp asked.
'That depends on yourself" Klinko-
witt replied. "If you got couple real
bargains in sample garments | would
not be surprised if the customers could

and the other three amt no buns,

Teller at ALL
camp gazed hard ut his visitor, and
then his face broke into smile
Excuse me- he said. Il am max
ing mistake. Do you want Il French
drape oder an unfinished worsted?"
For the next thirty minutes sue
cession of customers filled the store, and
when Klinkowitz's supernumeraries
arrived at intervals during that period
lamp turned them all away.
"What are you doing. Zamp?" Shin
ko exclaimed. ''At 2 o'clock the store
would be empty!'
"Would it?" camp retOrted as be
eyed well dressed youth who paused
In front of the show window. We'll.

not, and anyhow, Mr. Shimko if there
be no customers here we
would anyhow got plenty Of cutting to
