good old days decided to open q
hardware store. He laid In the
customary stock of supplies with par
iicular reference 10 those articles oil
ironmongery for which he expected
the greatest demand, and then ne
wrote a letter to a sign painter In
Louisville asking for a suitable sign
10 20 over the door of his establish
ment.
In due course the sign arrived. IL
read as follows.
JEFFERSON ID. COOMBS
HARDWARE AND CUTLERY
The consignee was not satisfied
To him the wording of the inscrip-
ton seemed woefully Incomplete.
SO he took a marking pot and a pint
of paint and amended 1t, and swung
IT into place. For years thereafter
1t hung, bearing this announcement:
JEFFERSON d. COOMBS
HARDWARE AND CUTLERY
Also Shootlery
