Til sign it. You hax6 never given me the worst of it. You have never tried to take advantage of me. You have never failed to give me all I bought and more. Til take a chance with you any time. And, furthermore, 111 get the best of it/' So, we wrote his ticket. He signed it. It was a matter of minutes, not of hours or days or weeks. What do you think I will do about it? ril simply break my neck to give him more than he bought. When any man on Cod's green earth shows such confidence in my company. I've got to meet him on his own ground and give him more than his money's worth. I say he is a smart buyer.
