Bet took a piece of drawing paper and pencilled the sign at once. It read:
"Man wanted for repair work on toys. Apply Saturday morning at 11 o'clock."
The sign was put in the window on Friday after school, and before the girls were well inside their shop on Saturday the first applicant arrived.
"I see you want a man to work!"
"Oh, but you weren't to call before eleven o'clock."
"Sure, I know that, but what chance would a fellow have to wait that long? Everybody wants work."
"All right, take a look at that bicycle and see if you can find out what's the matter with it." Bet led the way to the rear room.
"It looks like a pretty good bicycle, Miss. But it's hard to say whether it can be fixed or not. A blacksmith might tell you!"
Just then the door of the shop opened and another man entered.
"I see the ad. in the window; I want to talk to the boss."
