WHO’LL BUY?
A Seller of Soap Busy City Sales Everybody - has time to listen to the itinerant salesman. Passers-by gather round if only to listen to what he has to say. And more often than not his line of talk is better than his wares. Attired in a Fair Isle jumper, with a towel draped over his waistcoat and a face covered with lather, a very talkative gentleman carried on a lucrative business- in Victoria Street this morning. He was selling soap, and what that soap would not do is not worth the telling. Shave or shampoo, it was good for either —“and.” yelled the gentleman in the jumper, “it is the only known cure in the world for cow-pox.”
Whether there was a number of country people present is not known, but the remark seemed to have the desired effect, and the street-seller gathered in the coin like a barman on .a, busy Saturday afternoon.
