“Have he not been constantly on ice for 2 yrs? Nothing could be fresher than that,” depose Hon. Butcher.
“35c per lb.,” he snagger financially.
“I should like one (1) lb., please!” This from me.
“We do not sell broken sections. You must purchase complete bird, price $9.80.” This from him.
“At such rates, folks can get rich by starving,” I snagger.

“This are nice fresh turkey,” he satisfy.
“How you know he fresh?” I snuggest.
“Have he not been constantly on ice for 2 yrs.? Nothing could be more fresher than that,” depose Hon. Butch. I buy.
He sell me expensive celery-bouquet, price 75c per cluster. It seem disrespectful to eat such valuation. Also precious cramberries, price $1 for seldom quantities, added to $2.50 worth punkens for pie. I promenade homewards, carrying this valuable butchery and hoping no burglar would see me.
