Kleebaum," Abe broke in hurriedly. "Now, you take this here garment, Mr. Kleebaum, people would say, 'How is it possible that Potash & Perlmutter could turn out a garment like this for eighteen dollars? And certainly, Mr. Kleebaum, I don't say we lose money on it, y'understand, only we got " "But this here car, Potash, has selective transmission, shaft drive and "
"What are you talking nonsense, Perlmutter?" he exclaimed. "I ain't said nothing out of the way about Geigermann. You are the one what's putting the words into my mouth already. Did you ever hear anything like it! I am saying Geigermann is going to fail? An idee! I never said nothing of the kind.
"But Perlmutter is a fine business man, Mr. Zudrowsky, and he's a swell dresser, too."
He's a pretty hard customer, Hymie, and if I was to draw you the firm's check for a thousand, Hymie, that feller would have a receiver by the court to-morrow morning already. He's a holy terror, Hymie, believe me." Hymie sipped gloomily at his coffee. "But Mawruss Perlmutter was always a pretty good friend of mine, Abe," he said. "Why shouldn't he be willing to give it me if you are agreeable?
"You certainly made a mistake when you got rid of Louis Grossman. He's turning out some elegant stuff for Potash & Perlmutter." Leon nodded gloomily. "Well, we all make mistakes, Mr. Herzog," he said, "and that's why we got to come here." "That's so," Herzog agreed, as Leon opened the door.

Hence he regarded Abe's proffered hand coldly, and instead of rising to his feet he continued to puff at his cigar for a few moments. "I know your face," he said at length, "but your name ain't familiar." "Think again, Mr. Griesman," Abe said, quite unmoved by the rebuff. "Where did you seen me before?"
"You got to excuse me for butting in, Mr. Feldman," said a harsh voice which presently was seen to issue from the person of Morris Perlmutter, "but me and my partner is got to get back to the store and Max and his partner is also busy to-day."
