Clerk standing behind counter, with shawls and various dry goods to sell. Also rolls or pieces of carpet, oil and other kinds. Various placards on the walls,—“No credit.” “Goods marked down!” &c. Enter Old Woman.
Old Woman (speaking in rather high key). Do you keep stockings?
Clerk (handing box of stockings). O yes. Here are some, very good quality.
Old Woman (examining them). Mighty thin, them be.
Clerk. I assure you, they are warranted to wear.
Old Woman. To wear out, I guess.
Enter Young Married Couple.
Clerk. Good morning. Can we sell you anything to-day?
Wife (modestly). We wish to look at a few of your carpets.
Clerk. This way, ma’am.
