Show His, Own Bills. Butchers are not generally credited with a,n especially sensitive temperament, tempera-ment, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be extraordinarily ex-traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion. Above the cashier's window he has hung this sign.: "If prices are high don't blame me. They have hit me, too. Here is the meat bill of my own family. Read It." Then follows an Itemized account ac-count of the chops, steaks, roasts and cat's meat consumed by the butcher's dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently altitudlnous to appease the most disgruntled customers, cus-tomers, and they settle their own bills with good grace. |
