The Price Just Fitted

Bill Woodbridge, of Seattle, the Red Cedar Shingle Association man, .tells the following story which he thinks is appropos of the present shingle price situation:

The old Colonel from Kentucky had gone to Kansas on business, and, being detained much longer than he expected, he ran out of Bourbon whisky, which was the staff of life as far as he was concerned. So he talked it over with a bell boy in the hotel where he was staying, and was told that Bourbon whiskey was not only very scarce, but very expensive. The Colonel told him to get a quart and never mind about the expense. So the boy showed up with a quart of good Bourbon, and apologetically explained that it had cost him fifty dollars.

D. D.'Mike" Mikesell has joined the sales staff of E. U. Wheelock, fnc., Los Angeles wholesale lumber firm. Mike was formerly with the George E. Ream Company, Los Angeles, and is well known is Southern California lumber circles.

Leo Hulett, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, was in Los Angeles on business early in April.

The Colonel stripped six ten dollar bills off his roll, handed them to the boy, and remarked: "Here you are, son, fifty for the lickah, and ten for you'se'f. It's a pleasure to do this because it's the first time in my life I ever got a chance to pay as much for Bourbon as it's really worth."
