Catering to All.

A Boston merchant tells of an old grocer in Massachusetts who was about as “slick” an article as one would care to meet. “One day” says the Bostonian, “I stopped before his sho}) and looked curiously at a long line of barrels of apples, some marked with an ’A,’ some marked with a ‘Z,’ “‘What is the meaning of these 1 markings?’ I asked. ‘The barrels seem to contain the same kind of apples. - ‘“They are the same kind, son.’ the old gentleman replied, ‘but some customers want a barrel opened at the top and some at the bottom.’ ’’—New York 'Jernes.
