"We've heard of this shop opening and we consider it an A-1 opportunity for us, and it will give us a great deal of pleasure to put in some cameras for you on very satisfactory terms." Shirley looked toward Colonel Baxter who was enjoying himself, watching the interest of the girls as business details unfolded. "Sit down, Doran, and have a cup of tea."
Indeed, when he began to ship the crop, even his earliest crates were rated A-1 by the produce men, and he bad no difficulty in selling the entire crop at the top of the market, right through the season. The garden paid a profit; the potatoes did even better than the year before, and Hiram harvested and sold seventy-five dollars' worth while the price for new potatoes was high.
I've had all the advantage here. She and I've been living in the Cave Age, and I've proved myself an A-1 cave-man, if I do say it myself. It may be hard for her to get the right perspective of things, even after she's back in her own environment. Understand?"
I only say not a boy in this town could give it to her so good. Fifteen years I've done business with that firm, and with his father before him. A-1 house! S-ay, I should worry that he ain't a Sunday-school boy. Show me the one that is. Your old man in his young days wasn't such a low flier, neither, if anybody should ask you."
"They were in A-1 condition, when the boat was turned over to the Navy," Jack responded. "Do you imagine, then, Mr. Benson, that some of the naval machinists have been careless or incompetent?" "Why, that would be a wild guess to make, sir, when one, remembers what high rank your naval machinists take in their work," Jack Benson replied.
Do I know who it is then? Well, do I! Maybe it has been months since I've heard the voice, and maybe he does wear a set of face herbage that I'd never seen before; but I ain't one to forget the only real A-1 classy boss I ever had; not that soon, anyway. It's Mr. Belmont Pepper, as sure as I've got a Titian thatch on my skull! Do I linger? That's what!
I got some good fish." Rock was jubilant. His fears had been groundless. Everything was quite all right. For had not Rossi given the accustomed signal to that effect? Blankovitch had already taken the cue. "If his fish are first-class, we might put them up special for those A-1 orders," he suggested. Rock nodded as he noted the stolid faces of the fishermen peering over the rail.
"Just a minute," said the clerk though accepting the money. "This office can't afford to get in bad with big contractors like Demarest, Spruce & Tillou. They've specified A-1 jerkline skinners, to skin eight, ten, and twelve over the desert and mountains. Are you there?" "We are there," replied Orr Tweet. The clerk looked doubtful. "Well, guess we'll have to take your word for it.
He'll put you on to the good spots; some places are A-1 to-day, and to-morrow in the same place you can't kill a single fish." Condy nudged Blix as the Mentor turned away to get his card. "Notice that," he whispered: "KILL a fish. You don't say 'catch, you say 'kill' technical detail."
He used to be a first-class second-story man, and in his day was an A-1 snatcher, as his name signifies and my father's diaries attest, but I'm afraid his hand is out for a nice job such as I would care to have anything to do with myself." "Better let him slide, Raffles," said I. "He introduces the third party element into our arrangement, and that's mighty dangerous."
