A couple of Hebrew gentlemen drove
fiivver into Spring Valley Saturday
and proceeded to do a neat stroke OF
business. They left lot of pleased
customers behind, and it is to be hop
ed that the sense of pleasure will re-
main when the goods get into service.
On the back of the flivver was big
box full of drygoods. Beginning with
overalls, the gentleman with the large
nose auctioned them off, but did not
let bidding go too high; most OF the
overalls were sold around $3.50 per
pair. BY this time big crowd pad
gathered. Then he began selling dress
goods in small pieces at auction,
throwing one end of the cloth into the
crowd for inspection, and keeping up
a line of talk that sold the goods.
Most of the buyers were men from out
Of town; few pieces were bought by
ladies-most of them also out-of-town
people. The goods were gorgeous,
and if of standard material the He
brew gentleman cheated himself con-
siderably. During this time the gem
tlenan with the smaller nose and
pencil and notebook was around get
ting the name and address of every
whether for use in d.
rectory Of careful purchasers or not
deponent knoweth not. The big box
was all sold out here.-Spring Valley
