he goes to work. This super de luxe work week is not a new trend for him. Some 40 years ago Mr. Bishop found a way of making a good living without slaving. Down Bargersville way there was held a Democrat-Union picnic, , From a St. Louis firm; Mr. Bishop bought $35 worth of novelty goods. When the tired picnickers started home, he counted his money. It totaled $100. That was how Mr. Bishop became a hawker. Since then he has held forth .on the southwest. corner of the Johnson county court house square every Sunday in the year the weather isn’t too cold or rainy. The rest of the week? “Well most of the time I just relax,” Mr. Bishop says with a satisfled smile, ‘Good Money There’ About eight times a year he puts

At 84 he has become a familiar figure to several gengrations who have stopped. to admire his collection of balloons, come-back balls, pin wheels, whips, swagger canes, noise makers flags, hats, sneeze powder and cigaret loads. But the business of hawking isn’t what it used to be “in the good old days.” ‘Costs Are Up’ “There are too many Johnnycome -latelys in the game, raising # |prices all out of sight,” Mr. Bishop said. “Costs are up. Way up,” he said. “A good honest hawker, however, still can make a fine living at the old prices. Before the war I bought balloons at $2.50 a gross. Now they cost me $9.00. “But I still sell them at 10 cents each. ‘A hawker will do a lot better it he puts out good merchandise and doesn’t try to rob the public.” Mr. Bishop leaned back in his rocking chair to get ready for tomorrow’s stand on the court house

square. He started blowing up the balloons. “Never do get out of breath doing this,” he paused. "Guess I've just
