Show Feddlers Sell Thrift Stamps. The shrill cry of the Jewish peddler in the Fast side of New York was never ns piercing as It was the other day, when he appealed to the Jewish housewife whs came to his cart to Incest In-cest "one quarter two quarters three quarters" or more in the Thrift Stamps. Bearded Jews in long overcoats, over-coats, immigrants who had found a refuge in this country from persecution, persecu-tion, ran their carts up and down the streets In pursuit of customers, not to sell onions, potatoes, nh. and suspenders, sus-penders, ns usual, but to sell Thrift Stamps. About 500 carts crowded into the three blocks of Orchard street between be-tween Delancey and Houston streets, most of them discarding the wares they usually carried for great supplies of Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
