A bunch of girls representing the
Junior Class of Coleman Hlgn
School, opened a vest pccket de-
partment store on the south side
of the Bowen building on Pecan
street, Just under the sidewalk
stairway.
The young merchants were Betty
Jane Clements, Veta Watson, Ro-
sella Layton, Jean Reese, Margaret
Lindsey and Mary Louise Pape,
Queen of the Realm of Junlorland,
and Jean Lyklngs.,
They deftly strung a wire , be-
neath the stairway on which they
hung their stock of ready-to-wear
dresses: they had a table on the
sidewalk on which they kept their
general stock, and a badly dilapi-
dated suitcase, a genuine 1942
model contained their shoe de-
partment. It was stock culled
from old wardrobes and garrets.
Yet these play-Uke merchants
stood their ground and put over
sales that eclipsed anything done
in the big stores that Saturday.
I looked over the stock and was
forcibly reminded of the remark
that one of the negro troopers
made in Africa as he gazed for the
first time at the Desert of Sahara:
“Lawd, I aint’ nuvver seen so much
nuthin’ in all my life I”
I saw them vainly try te sell an
old straw hat for 5 cents.
A Mexican woman of the cotton-
picking variety strolled up and
gazed fondly at the headgear.
Ten cents," said Rosella Lay-
ton.
The woman silently shook her
head in Aztec-lan negation. "Five
cents.” she offered, displaying five
fingers.
"Eight cents,” said Rosella, re-
treating slowly
"You missed a sale." said Mar-
garet Lindsey, who felt that every
nickel taken In was that much
profit for the Junior F’und. ‘‘We
only wanted five cents for It In the
first place.”
A few minutes later the Mexican
woman returned with two others.
She picked up the hat and said,
Seven cents.”
"Wrap It up” said Rosella, tri-
umphantly.
They unloaded an armful of sec-
ond or nth-hand merchandise on
the trio at prices ranging from
five to fifteen cents per garment.
They got a nibble on the suit
case. "How muchee?” asked the
senorita.
“One-ete dollar,” said Veta Wat-
son, "cheap-ee, too,” she added
speaking Spanish fluently.
The old squaw newly fainU d.
"Five cents,” she offered.
“Let her have it.” said Margaret
Lindsey, who rejoiced that it
would bring even a nickel.
’’Fifty cents,” said Betty Jane
Clements.
* Him one hundred year old,”
said the Mexican woman. She tried
to open It and it fell to pieces -
the deal was off.
I looked at a wonderful $7.50
straw hat. It was a peach and la
good condition One of the girl,
set It on my head and then of-
fered my "Burr'* Best” for sat' at
50 cento. “You have made a
did purchase," she said.
come the hat or the bat__
you,” one of them said as I
there with a straw hat on In Ithe
winter time. It was a good dhal.
but the thing didn’t fit. It lool
like a stamp on a watermelon! I
think It must have been one! of
Fred Luthan’s old hats, it waf so
small. Rosella offered to let me
trade In the straw hat for my old
one back If I would pay 30 cents
difference. It sounded like a bar-
gain and I made the deal. My
old hat was certainly worth ’ 30
cento more than the straw. No-
body can get the best of me in a
trade.
The young “sale-wonders" con-
tinued to take in the Jitneys,.while
they had their ground scouts scour-
ing the town for more merchan-
dise. One of them got back with
a pair of old shoes that had holes
in the soles big enough for a dog
to jump through- These were
prompetly dealt on to the Mexican
trade for five cents.
When the smoke; of battle had
cleared off the girls found that
they had enriched their treasury by
more than $12.
