Dear Billy Schwartz: .Thanks for, the card you sent from Europe. Back in Rappahannock, we're all glad you’re having such a good time and that you weren’t sea-sick.
Of course, we iwant to Keep you as merry and bright as we can, now that you’ve gone on a nice vacation. We suppose, since your father built up the business at the Sperryville store, and since you’ve helped keep it up, it doesn’t matter in what condition it gets while you are gone. You’d better get a good rest, ’cause you’re *gonna’ need extra strength when you return. >
In the store the other day, a customer was overhead asking your sister for “5 pounds of 8penny nails.” Your sister looked a little bewildered, and her" face went slightly blank. A neighbor, who happened to be in the store, undertook to help her out: “Let’s see,” he said, “ er, ruh, . . 5 lb. of 8-penny; uh . . 5 eights are 40, and so are 4 tens . . . ask that customer if 4 pounds of tenpenny nails will do just as good.
