 When I'm peddling sweet -corn soma new customer occasionally asks me, Which is the very best corn you have?" ITO which I answer, in effect, that Mrs. Jones thinks Bantam the best, and Mrs. Smith wants Poca- hontas, and Mrs Johnson prefers Golden Sweet, and Mrs. JenTs chooses Evergreen, and the Lord only knows whether any one of them is really better than any other: I don't! try to have 'em all and let the people that pay do the selecting.
