Some say the store's going to open up under new parties guess nobody knows exactly. Hullo! who's that making signs?" He indicated a tall figure on the sidewalk coming toward them at a rapid rate, face alight, hat waving in air. "It's Mr. Forbes Westcott," exulted Ruth, twisting around to look at her sister.
With thousands of dollars' worth of goods lying unprotected on the counters, it is really no wonder that some are tempted to reach out and take what they want." "Yes," explained Donnelly, "the shop-lifter is the department- store's greatest unsolved problem. Why, sir, she gets more plunder in a year than the burglar. She's costing the stores over two million dollars.
As you will see, that makes a rouble worth a dime, and to make matters worse all the money is paper, coins having gone out of circulation since the beginning of the mix-up. A kopec is the size of a postage stamp, a rouble looks like a United Cigar Store's Certificate, a 25-rouble note resembles a porous plaster and a 100-rouble note the Declaration of Independence.
He drew his hands and feet away from the sides of the branch conduit and let himself slip, landing in a heap in the electricians' shop, above the furnace rooms. Two men, who had been working at a bench, trying to assemble a mass of equipment into a radio, whirled, snatching weapons.

The store had two pretty, white-covered, small carts for the delivering of packages. Willis drove one cart and a boy named August drove the other.

Except that our scrub-ladies, each and all, discovering that the Dry Store's allowance of this priceless chemical had at last apparently been generous, caused it to fly at a disconcerting pace, and as a result sometimes left me short of it, my career as a washer-up afterwards became more comfortable. I shall never like washing-up.
Why, he gave Betty a hundred dollars to buy clothes with in Philadelphia, and said he'd have more for her by Christmas, besides paying all the expenses of that school which must be considerable. I don't see how the store's going to stand the strain though it's doing splendidly since he came in, splendidly! but he says it's all right, and so it must be...."
Here I got to come downtown about them capes, and my whole store's full of people. Why didn't you ship them capes back to me like I told you?" "Look a-here, Feinholz," Morris exclaimed in tones sufficiently loud for Feder to overhear, "what d'ye take us for, anyhow? Greenhorns?
