Show Got the Trade. "That druggist Gettemwall seems to have nearly all the trade hereabouts," here-abouts," we say to the resident of the neighborhood. "Yea, and ho deserves It. You see, like all druggists, nine-tenths nine-tenths of tho people who deal with him want to buy stamps. So ho devised de-vised a scheme whereby he treats the back of the stamps with a medicated medi-cated mucilage. If you have dyspepsia dyspep-sia you ask for pcrsinlzed stamps; If "ou have a cold you ask for quininized quinin-ized stamps, and so on. Ho charges a little bit extra for tho stamps, but he holds his trade and manages to overcome the annoyance of handling that profitless lino of goods. He is now endeavoring to perfect some scheme to utilize postal cards In the same way." |
