And then again the-unscrupulous wrap up in ferior goods for the child that they would not flunk of offering to the par ent. They seem to forget that they are serving tbe family and not merely tbe child. This is the reason why many shopkeepers lose their good pay­ ing customers if they did bu t know it.
