forwarded to Washington.
Small and big business both have

while at the same time all the benefits
Of pasteurization are preserved. This

that the ascorbic acid has a strong

He'd never worked a day in his life.
This thing that he was doing must be
blow to his pride. Also, the fact
that he wasn't selling anything to
speak of must have hurt, too. Now, If
Ennis had been smart like his an

figured some solution to the problem.
But that's where I guessed wrong.
I forgot to figure that Ennis had
Jonas blood in his veins forgot to
figure Ennis had any brains at all
Anyway, this is what happened:
A week after the sign went up it
came down. That same day Mrs.
Hartlow began house cleaning She
cleaned one room at time, setting
the furniture out in her front yard
while she done her scrubbing Well,
sir, that furniture hadn't been there
an hour before a tourist car pulled
up and the occupants got out and
looked over the furniture and began
asking prices. Ennis quoted 'em
prices and. by jinks, they bought
without a whimper.
RUT that was only the beginning
Every pleasant day thereafter
Mrs HartloW cleaned house. moving
her furniture cut of doors and laying
it around helter-skelter, haphazard
like so it'd appear genuine, and every
day tourist cars stopped and asked
prices.
Well, sir. the Hartlow fortune began
looking up, but Ennis apparently
wasn't satisfied He figured. by iinks,
that If that's the way folks were he
might as we'll go the limit So what'd
he do? He printed lot OF signs that
said, Not for Sale" And when Mrs
HartloW moved her things out into
the yard, Ennis affixed Not for
Sale sign onto it. And what hap
pened? Why it DANCED near drove
them tourists frantic. Cars were
parked in the yard all day long.
Something that somebody else didn't
want to sell was right up their alley
You could see Ennis. bareheaded
and frowning. standing in the yard
bargaining with them tourists, and
from what I hear here and there I
reckon some of the prices he got for
his antiques were fabulous
At any rate, the Hartlows are rich
again. But here's the point: They
learned few things about human
nature, and now they're human them
selves. They're not high hat any
more, but associate with US folks in

A CERTAIN diamond merchant

was used widely by stores which did a
large volume of business in popular
priced merchandise This particular
merchant. however, had customers who
bought supplies of diamonds in very
small and, occasionally, very large
quantities so that he had to be pre-
pared for orders of any size. Conse-
quently he devised system of packing
which allowed him to have an assort-

different numbers of diamonds but SO
arranged that by producing packages
IN various combinations he could fill

OF diamonds between and 1000.

furniture that want to tell you.
You see, two years ago the govern
ment built road-a main highway
going North-through Belleville, and
the way the engineers figured, this
road had to 60 plumb through Ennis
Hartlow's front yard. Ennis was as
sore as a wet hen. He put up an
awful squaWk. Went down to WASH
ington and used all the influence he
could, but it didn't do a whit of good.
Well. sir, they put the road through
and it proved a boon to Belleville We
haven't any industries, you know
Nothing but farming and fishing, and
farming and fishing aren't what they
used to be. But us folks is enter
prising. so when We saw the flocks
and f1ocks of tourists passing through
We figured these tourists has got
money to spend and, by jinks. We
ought to get some Of it.
So We ups and builds roadside
stands and opened our houses to over
night guests and fixed up lawns and
things and, by jinks, the tourist busi-
ness became our biggest industry.
Tourists are curious lot. They're
antique-minded, so to speak. They'd
see an old piece of discarded furni-
ture around and they'd buy it. You
can't fool en-. either. It's got to be
old or they won't pay money.
Well! sir. the way the tourists would
look longiNgly and Wistfully at Ennis
Hartlow's house was something. You
see. we'd told them all the old and
original antiques in town were up
there at Ennis place, but Ennis
wouldn't let no one in. He put up
signs and bought himself watch
dog and threatened to shoot nosey
folks who tried to investigate. Seemed
a pity. cause most of the furniture
Ennis had had long since outlived its
practical use. Why, not, therefore,
sell it?
A YEAR passed, and then one day
We got a surprise. Ennis hung a
sign out on his front door that read,

come" Well, sir. it was shock. but
before "a hours had passed We knew
that the Hartlows had taken loss
in some business deal or another and
needed money.
