utive /. X. Scott has become an
expert price haggler since he got
into the business last week.

they had collected. When every
ching had been weighed the junk
man refused to buy the bed. The
boys started to drive off without It.
Here. I don't want that thing
left. Take 1t with you yelled the
dealer.
I'VE don't want it" was the reply
"I'll give you quarter to haul
it away" begged the junk man.
SO they took his quarter and
drove off. AT a second hand store
they asked the proprietor If he
wanted to buy an old bed He In
sisted he couldn't use II.
Wen sell 1T you for a quarter.
was the offer made.
"All right, I'll take IT.
So the BOYS made fifty cents on
the transaction.
AS trucks can be obtained only
