 My first duty was to sweep the litter from the floor of the store out onto the sidewalk, and then to "sweep the sidewalk" into the gut- ter. Then at some convenient time during the day @ horse and cart would come around to shovel 1t all up and carry 1t away.
 My next duty was to work with all speed on the a-fountain'- getting a supply of ice, washing the empty syrup containers and re- filling them, and manufacturing our soda-water speciality, 'Webbs Delicious Cream Syrup. This was done in the back room strictly out of the vision of the customers. The process was as follows: In a large porcelain dish was poured gallon or two of blue skim-milk. To this was added several cupfuls of corn starch and an assortment of eggs that had been marked down on account of age and infirmity.
 This was well stirred and the porcelain dish was put over a lighted alcohol lamp till the con- tents bubbled. After 1t had cooled off 1t was ready to be poured into the container marked 'Webb's De- licious Cream Syrup.
 There wasn't a COW on earth stupid enough to be fooled by that connection, but 'Webb's' customers were, and drank 1t down with a relish, and smacked their lips, and ordered another. For myself, was satisfied thereafter with good old vanilla, and strawberry and 'sarsaparilla'.
 I well remember that the first customer I waited on that morning was a man who bought litte bag of Bull Durham smoking to- bacco. the exact counterpart Of the packages seen on every tobacco counter today.
