Show GETS BIKE FOR 20 CENTS ST. LOUIS Attending a police auction, Charles Gold mann, Jr., 13, with just twenty cents in his pocket, watched bicycles bi-cycles go for from $7 to $14. Finally, he got enough courage to shout "20 cents" when a shiny model went on the block. After a pause, someone in the audience suggested, "Let him have it." The police captain put some of his own money in the pot, let Charles keep his own two dimes and let him have the bicycle. The boy's bicycle was stolen a month before. |
