He merely applied to a dry-goods store the business principles of the successful virtuoso, and he had found them so efficacious that personally he sold more garments than any six of his clerks.
Don’t resort to idleness. The boy who wears out the seat of his trousers holding down dry-goods boxes on the street corners will never be president of the United States. The farmer who drives to town for pleasure several days in the week will soon have his farm advertised for sale. An idle man is sure to go into the hands of a receiver.
She entered another dry-goods store, but when the clerk came toward her saying, "Anything today, Mrs.?" she answered, "No, I guess not," and turned away with foolish face. She walked up and down the street, desolately home-less. She did not know what to do with herself. She knew no one except the grocer.
Puerto Rico is only 100 miles in length and from fifty to sixty miles in breadth, and as square as a dry-goods box. East and west and north and south its coast lines run almost as regularly as if projected by compass. It is the delight of the sailorrnan, as its fertile soil is the joy of the agriculturist.
Then he hustled out after the license, while I went over to the dry-goods and jewelry store to get a ring. I will say that Osage puts up a mighty poor showing of wedding-rings. We were married. I suppose I ought to stop now and describe just how it was, and what the bride wore, and a list of the presents. But it didn't last long enough to be clear in my mind.

There were cotton merchants, and corn and feed merchants; there were dry-goods and grocery stores, drug stores and saloons and more saloons and the usual proportion of professional men. Since Clarendon was the county seat, there were of course a court house and a jail.
Meeker felt that her cousin, the wholesale dry-goods jobber in New-York, would be proud of such an acquisition in his establishment. He had been duly apprised that the boy was named for him, and really appeared to manifest, by his inquiries, a good deal of interest in Hiram. Although they generally met once or twice a year, Mrs.
There are hundreds of men walking those streets this moment with grease spots on their clothes. Give me a gasoline lamp, a dry-goods box, and a two-dollar bar of white castile soap, cut into little "'Where's your two dollars? snickered Bill Bassett into my discourse. There was no use arguing with that burglar. "'No, he goes on; 'you're both babes-in-the-wood.
"I think I can have the mine fairly dry by the time you boys get out of town and back again!" laughed Canfield. "Well," Tommy said, "then you'd better got a couple of dry-goods boxes and fill them full of good things to eat, and drop 'em down to the first level. Perhaps you know of a cozy little chamber there where we can set up housekeeping." "I know just the place," said the caretaker.
Being a fool he could not help being an infliction to them, even with the best of intentions, and Wirz was not troubled with good intentions. I mention the probability of his having been a dry-goods clerk or book-keeper, not with any disrespect to two honorable vocations, but because Wirz had had some training as an accountant, and this was what gave him the place over us.
