Salesman In Aggressive Mood.
it is rumoured in town that a farmer who lives not 100 miles from Stratford bears two black eyes which would do credit to any defeated pugilist; the snappy left of the aggressor should do credit to a victorious one. The tale runs that the black-eyed farmer decided not to complete purchase of a certain article from a salesman, Who was not known to be pugilistically rnulined. To-day the farmer knows better, for when the purchase was not made, two rapid lefts connected with the farmer’s eyes—and before his wife, too. So which truth does this story follow? That of thei American text-books on aggressive selling methods, or that of the common law, “caveat emptor/’ meaning “let the buyer beware”!
