"I scratched them matches and burnt that hole, if you think so; but just the same, Mawruss, if I did or if I didn't, Ike Flachsman done us, anyhow." "How d'ye know that, Abe?" Morris blurted out. "I don't believe them fixtures is Rifkin's fixtures at all, and I don't believe that Flachsman bought 'em at Rifkin's sale.
"How many times should I tell it you, Abe," he cried, "them fixtures what Flachsman sells it us is new, and not like Rifkin's." "Go ahead, Mawruss," Abe replied. "Let's hear it." "Over the hole is a sign, Cashier," Morris continued. Abe was about to nod again, but at a warning glance from Morris he thought better of it.
"That's what you say, Abe," Morris retorted, "but Flachsman says different. I seen him at the lodge last night, and he tells me them fixtures what H. Rifkin got it was second quality, Abe. Flachsman says they wouldn't of stood being took down and put up again. He says he wouldn't sell them fixtures as second-hand to an East Broadway concern, without being afraid for a comeback."
"You don't seem to know much about it this morning when I spoke to you, Mawruss," Abe retorted. "Sure not," Morris said, "but I learned it a whole lot since. I got to thinking it over after you left. So I rings up a feller by the name Flachsman, what is corresponding secretary in the District Grand Lodge of the Independent Order Mattai Aaron, which I belong it.
"Well, who bought it them fixtures at the receiver's sale?" "I got to look it up," Feinstein said. "Hold the wire for a minute." A moment later he returned to the 'phone. "Hallo, Mr. Perlmutter," he said. "They sold for three hundred dollars to a dealer by the name Isaac Flachsman." "Say, looky here, Abe," Morris cried one rainy March morning, "we got to get some more insurance."
"What d'ye mean?" Morris exclaimed. "I mean this," Abe thundered: "I mean, we paid twenty-two hundred and fifty dollars for what we could of bought for six hundred dollars. Them fixtures what we bought it from Flachsman, he bought it from Rifkin's bankruptcy sale. I mean that these here fixtures are the positively same identical fixtures what I seen it upstairs in H. Rifkin's loft."
Abe cried. "Well, twenty-two fifty," Morris amended. "Comes to about the same with cash discount. Flachsman tells me he seen the kind of loft we got and knows it also the measurements; so I think to myself what's the use waiting. Abe wants it we should buy the fixtures, and we ain't got no time to lose. So I signed the contract."
"Well, all I got to say is we would get it the positively same identical thing by H. Rifkin's place for six hundred dollars," Abe concluded. He rose to his feet and took off his hat and coat. "What did you say this here feller Flachsman was in the district lodge of the I. O. M. A., Mawruss?" he inquired. "Corresponding secretary," Morris replied. "What for you ask, Abe?"
This here Flachsman got a fixture business over on West Broadway." Abe nodded. He lit a fresh cigar to sustain himself against impending bad news. "And this here Flachsman comes around here half an hour ago and shows me pictures from fixtures, Abe; and he got it such elegant fixtures like a bank or a saloon, which he could put it in for us for two thousand dollars." "Two thousand dollars!"
"Flachsman don't know what he's talking about," Abe declared hotly. "Them fixtures was A Number One. I never seen nothing like 'em before or since." "Bluffs you are making it, Abe," Morris replied. "You seen them fixtures for ten minutes, maybe, Abe, and in such a short time you couldn't tell nothing at all about 'em." "Couldn't I, Mawruss?" Abe said.
