Never Too Late TO Learn.
John Page, the veteran salesman,
who for the last forty years been
calling on the trade up and down the
Conn. Valley, winning many friends
and at the same time building a repu-
tation for honesty, sobriety and in
tegrity, has just discovered that the
only safe place to leave a mailable
package is to place it at once in the
hands of Uncle Sam, otherwise the
contents of said package is liable to
be exchanged for some article which
would bring chagrin unto the sender.
Johns experience, although coming
late in life should be a warning to
men of his class to be careful of
their packages, and further more
proves that it is never too late to
learn, 1t is now up to John to relate
his experience to the trade, and no
doubt who ever reads this article will
confer a favor on this gentlemanly
salesman, by asking him to rise and
explain.
