I helped him count his money — both before and after — so believe me, the story's true. Easy was on the way to the bank to deposit his "cookie jar" savings — exactly $24.95 in nickels, dimes and quarters. He had them in a paper bag and as we crossed Main Street the bottom fell out. Money went flying. Passers-by pitched in to help recover the coins. Later on when Easy counted up, he had $25.05. The "search party" had turned up all of Easy's money plus ten cents someone else had lost! From where I sit, I wouldn't want to try this "Easy" way to make money. Usually, it takes time for a bank roll to grow . . . just as it takes time for a friendship to grow. But by respecting a neighbor's rights — including his right to drink coffee, tea, beer or buttermilk, whichever and whenever he chooses — it's wonderful the solid friendship you can build. You can "bank" on that. Copyright, 1955, United States Brewers Foundation Broadcasting Telecasting December 5, 1955 • Page 97
