“Have you got any food for sale that is less ostentatious?” I acquit.
“Corn beef,” he report. “That homely dish can be obtained for 22c per lb.”
“I shall take 1 lb. please,” I order.
“Umpossible!” he disorder. “My corn beef come only in 5 lb. patterns.”
My soul drop back, completely flabbed.
“Ain’t you got nothing that I can buy for 15c?” I gosp.
“How you insult me!” he gollup, wiping meat-axe with rage. So I depart off before chop occur.
It was now 11:30 by clock-time and I had not yet obtained that 50c lunch. I spent 5c more trolley fare arriving at Nusbaum’s Butchery. This leave me 40c with which to do so with.
“What you got for 15c which is sifficient to retain 3 persons, mostly ladies?” I ask from Hon. Nusbaum. He look to me with fatty eyebrows.
“I can give you 3 nice mutton bones for that price of money,” he report.
