General Store In
NY. Sells Pigs,
Gold, Gas Masks
Salvage Division Of City
IDisposes Of Weird
Possessions

NEW YORK, N. Y.-How would
you like some slightly used radio
active gold? Maybe you would be
interested in a ferry boat for the
missus, some pigs or a bright red
fire engine for Junior.
If so, there's a general store in
New York city that will be glad to
have you for a customer.
The man to see about all this is
Leo P. Flood, who operates one of
the wierdest general stores in the
world. He is in charge of the sal
wage division in the New York City
department of purchases.
Most everyone else in his depart
ment buys things. He sells them.
It's his job to dispose of municipal
possessions-waste material, worm
out or surplus equipment-anything
that'n still bring a buck.
Floods been selling mor than
$500, 900 worth of stuff a year. This
year the figure may reach 5000, 900.
His wares come from various places
police and fire departments, hos
pitfalls, prisons, schools and almost
every phase of city government.
He does not handle material col
lected directly from the citizenry
by the police and sanitation depart
ments-like guns or illegal drugs
or the refuse put out in garbage
cans every morning by private resi-
dents.
But he can and does find a market
for refuse which comes from city
institutions.
Sells Ashes and Cinders
Last year, for example, Flood re-
ceived: S7,100 for about 5000 truck
loads of ashes and cinders from
firms which use the stuff to make
building blocks; $1,000 for $500 tons
of garbage and swill sold to pig
farms; S12, 900 for bones, entrails,
fats, grease and scrap gristle left
over from city-owned kitchens and
bought by people who make fats for
soap Zone year this included the
mortal remains of a lion and bear
which died at a city Zoo).
Don't Grimace. All this saves the
taxpayers money.
Among the odd items that will
go to the highest bidders this year
are 500 grams of radioactive gold,
165 grams of just plain gold, $50
pigs from city-owned reform school
farms, a $4,000 cannery, two iron
two fire engines, one ferry
boat, two wooden deck scows, sew

A startled grocer called headquar-

my roof" Patrolman William
Purdy, who was sent to the scene,
called back:
"That goats as big as a cow. He
runs like a deer"
Later a whole squad of pursuers
