The Price Cuts Some Figure.

“Here," said a Chicago wholesaler, ’’this Omaha man declines to receive that last bill of goods you sold him. He says he got figures from a St. Louis man and you offered to duplicate the order. ” “Well, I did. Ain’t the goods satisfactory?” =: “-Yes, but he objects to the price.” “The price! Well, I didn’t say I would duplicate the price; I thought he was kicking about the goods.”— Merchant Traveler.
