lard? Well, what about it?

Go and fry yourself in lard,

you dirty capitalist!

Why, you...

"Fry yourself in lard!"

Did you drop

a fur coat?

No, miss.

Not here.

Oh. Thank you.

Where did you find it?

Find what? How do I know it's yours?

Well, look at the label and see if it

doesn't say A.B. Zickel and Company.

You work for a living?

Yes, that's right, all right.

What? Why, of course I do.

Why... Why, I don't see

what business that is of...

Say, look what you

did to my hat.

Do you own

a fur coat?

No, I don't,

but I still don't...

That's where

you're wrong!

You own that one.

Happy birthday.

Now, just a minute,

Santa Claus!

Huh?

What's the matter with it?

Is it hot?

I don't know.

I've never worn one.

What kind of fur is it,

anyway?

Zebra. Anything else

you want to know?

Yes! I'd like to know

how you get...

Let me give you a piece

of advice, young lady.

Don't be too wise. Don't

think you know all the answers.

Things have been done

for people, many nice things!

Remember that.

Well, what do you want?

Uh...

Say, could you

lend me 10 cents?

Lend you...

Of course I can.

It's pay day and I forgot when I got

off that it was my last dime and I...

Well, of course,

if you're short...

Of course I'm not short. Don't be

silly... You mean to take a bus?

Well, what's the matter

with this bus?

Oh, no.

Oh, hop in! Hop in!

The Boys' what?

The Boys' Constant Companion.

Very well, madam.

It's a magazine for boys.

Yeah? I never heard of it.

We have over

a million readers.

Well, you haven't got me.

Stop at a hat shop.

Yes, sir.

Oh, no, really.

You mustn't. No, that...

That's terribly sweet of you

but I haven't got time,

and anyway, my goodness, this coat...

Well, if I can keep waiting

what's waiting for me,

I guess The Boys' Constant Reminder

can wait a few minutes also.

Companion. Boys' Constant

Companion. All right. Companion.

Yeah. You know, I was

going to buy a fur coat.

You can get them for $2 a week

and one percent on the balance.

One percent a month?

Yes. Isn't it wonderful

how they can do it

for so little?

So little? That's 25/ a year. Yeah.

No. One percent

a month is 12/ a year.

You, of course,

don't know who I am,

but I'm very good

at computing interest.

Well, I'm sure you are, but having

passed through high school myself,

I think I can safely say that

one percent a month is 12/...

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!

You owe $100,

you're paying off at the

rate of $2 a week or $8...

66 and two-thirds

cents a month.

You mean $8

a month.

There are four weeks

in a month, you know.

I beg your pardon,

madam!

There are four and

one-third weeks in a month,
