way they sold stuff we could hardly
believe. In France for small piece
of chocolate, and very small piece
at that, they charged us from thirty
to forty cents, and to come back here
and buy bigger and better piece for
five cents made it seem unbelievable.
But it was the same with everything
you bought from them. They charged
five or six times what it was worth
and the best part Of it was that we
were walking on one another trying TO
get in to buy the stuff. The way they
charged US surely was a shame.
