niture Man.

-
Mrs. Blanche Cobb, 10 East 31st
St, recovered a judgment against
Sam Zuckerman (white). the owner
of the Douglas furniture store, 1921

Judge Caverly that in January she
sold ten rooms of furniture to Fucker
man for $4,000. That Zuckerman

Mrs Cobb explained to the Judge
that Zuckerman had bought the good

believed the story of Mrs. Cobb and
