Boss of Small Town Store

A travelling salesman visited a
small town and sold the proprie-
tor of its general store some rugs
and carpets. When the goods ar
rived they were not as represent
ed and the merchant consequent
ly returned them. But the house
nevertheless attempted to collect
the bill and drew a sight draft
on the merchant through the
local bank, which returned the
draft unhonored.
The house then wrote the post
master about the financial stand
ing of the merchant and the post
master laconically replied that
it was O. X. By return mail the
house requested him to secure a
lawyer TO collect the account,
and received the following:
"The undersigned is the mer-
chant on whom you attempted to
palm off your worthless goods.
The undersigned is president and
owner of the bank to which you
sent your sight draft. The I'M
designed is the lawyer whose
services you sought to obtain for

undersigned were not also pastor
