Der didn't do the cloak-and-suit BUS
mess any good and when the cloak
and-suit business slumps, business in
jazz and food likewise slumps.
When out-of-town buyers arrive
they generally are welcomed with a

tickets and anything else needed to

Thus the dance nails, the supper
clubs and such places flourish and
wax fat. And the checkroom girls
and the walters roll in tips.
But this year it was brown Oc

they didn't know what to buy, fur
coats or bathing suits.
