Obeyed The Law Strictly

It was heatless Mohday and the ■ drug stores at Columbus were open, but only to sell drugs and medical supplies. A man entered the store ; of Noble McKnight and asked for a stamp. Mr. McKnight took the 1 stamp • from a drawer and handed it [-to the customer. Then he happened ' to think that stamps are not medicine and they are not medical supplies. He had to argue about the matter a little, but he got the stamp back and directed the man to the postoffce. He said he had grown so accustomed to selling stamps that he started to make the sale through force of habit.
