"Strangers they don't like at all; and even me, though I lived in that town ten years, most of 'em wouldn't buy goods off of me because Van Buskirk and Patterson is born and raised in that town and they dealt with 'em ever since they was boys together. So you see I got ten years' start of that feller from Sarahcuse, Mawruss.
I am enjoying myself, Mawruss, on account Moe Griesman from Sarahcuse was just in here, which he tells me his nephew, Mozart Rabiner, goes to work for Klinger & Klein as a drummer and we should be so good and cancel the order which he gives us yesterday, as blood is redder as water; and what the devil could we do about it anyway?" Morris's jaw dropped and he sat down heavily in the nearest chair.
Sol Klinger was so interested in his own narrative that he completely failed to notice its effect on Morris Perlmutter, who sat with his jaw dropping lower and lower, while great beads of perspiration stood on his forehead. "Yes, Mawruss," Sol continued; "Moe Griesman even comes down himself from Sarahcuse to Cyprus to superintend things.
Green passed behind the counter to reach the thread case. "Going to Sarahcuse to-day, Mis' Duree?" she asked casually. Mrs. Duryea blushed. "I'm on my way to see my sister's little granddaughter," she explained; "she's just recovering from whooping cough." "Would that be your sister Libby?" Max inquired. Mrs. Duryea started visibly. "I don't know as I " she began. "That's so," Max continued.
I already got an established business, y'understand; and if I could get a feller with a headpiece, Mawruss never mind he ain't got so much money with a couple thousand dollars, we could run that feller from Sarahcuse out of town." "What feller from Sarahcuse?" Morris asked. "Ain't I told you?" Sam continued.
"A ten per cent. interest they got, although I am going to run my Sarahcuse business and these here boys is going to run the Cyprus end," Moe continued. "And now, Abe, as Max has got to pick out a lot of goods for the Cyprus store and I want to do the same for my Sarahcuse store, let's get to work."
If they was only so prompt with checks as they was to claim deductions, Mawruss, you and me would have no worries. I think some of 'em finds a shortage in the shipment before they open the packing-case that the goods come in. Take your friend Hyman Maimin, of Sarahcuse nothing suits him.
"I thought I says that the reason the bank shuts down on me is a feller from Sarahcuse buys out them two suckers, Van Buskirk and Patterson, and he's going to operate the store as a branch house." Morris nodded his head slowly. "So, Sam," he said, "you are up against one of them sharks from Sarahcuse? I'm afraid you got a dead proposition in that store of yours."
"I mean forty dollars a garment. Why do you say thirty-five dollars?" "Because at forty dollars apiece, Abe, I could use for my Sarahcuse, Rochester, and Buffalo stores about fifty of these garments, and you ought to figure on at least five dollars' profit on a garment."
"In the first place, Cyprus is too near Sarahcuse, y'understand; and if one of them yokels wants to buy for thirty dollars a garment for his wife, if he is up-to-date, he goes to Sarahcuse; and if he is a back number he goes to Sam's competitors! What's the name now? Van Buskirk & Patterson. Yes, Mawruss, back numbers always buys from back numbers."
