"Isn't that grand?" said he. "I'll bet you can't make a box as good as that."
"Maybe we'll make something better," said Bob. "You come up to our place some day and listen to what we have."
"Then you don't think you want a box?" And the shopkeeper's voice indicated his disappointment.
"Not just yet anyway," answered Bob.
"We'd rather buy the parts from you and make our own," added Joe.
"Besides, we want to try for the Ferberton prizes."
"Oh, that's it. Well, when you want anything, come to me," concluded the dealer.
