The instances of improvement with
age are many, although not quite SO
plentiful as prior to the Volstead law.
Occasionally age. too. lends dignity
and commands respect, but here is an
instance when 1t excited laughter. A
mark down sale it was-and it
wasn't in Augusta. A suit of clothes
bearing a 'placard: Fifty dollars
marked down to $35." The first
price was written in freshly applied
black. whereas the 1885" was fly
specked and yellowed with age, pos
sibly of the vintage Of 1914. And it's
here to laugh.
