OPRIETOR "EVERYTHING FOR MADAME...." NEW YORK, April 1st, 1908 GENTS: Your shipment of this date arrived and we must say we are surprised at the goods which you sent us. They are in no respect up to sample which we keep pending a settlement of any differences which we might have in respects to this matter. Yours truly, L. FEINHOLZ. Dic LF to RC "What does that sucker mean, Mawruss?" Abe asked. "We ain't sent him no sample of them capes, Mawruss. We made 'em up according to his instructions, Mawruss. Ain't it?" Morris nodded solemnly and again Abe read the letter. This time he dashed the note to the floor and grew purple with rage. "Why," he choked, "that sucker must mean it the winder sample." Again Morris nodded solemnly. "But a ten-year-old child could tell that them garments ain't like that winder sample, Mawruss," Abe went on. "Sure I know," Morris replied sadly, "and a district court judge could tell it, too. Also, a jury by the city court could tell it, Abe; and also, I rung up Henry D.

"Ain't you got it a writing?" Abe asked. "I ain't got no writing about the winder sample, Abe," Morris replied. "I only got it a writing about the order." "But ain't you got no witnesses, Mawruss?" Abe asked. "Witnesses I got it plenty, Abe," Morris answered. "And so has Feinholz got it witnesses. What's the use witnesses when all Feinholz has got to do is to get Henry D. Feldman to make theayter acting over that sample? For you know as well as I do, Abe, anyone would see that them garments is _doch_, anyway, a cheap imitation of that winder sample, Abe."
