ten o'clock
My line is a specialty line -- only fine goods -- and I 'll bring in a small bunch of samples tonight about the time you close up . ' Merchants like to deal with a man who is strictly business when they both get to doing business . Then is the time to put friendship and joking on the shelf . `` That night at ten o'clock I was back at the store with a bundle under my arm . The man who is too proud to carry a bundle once in a while would better never start on the road . The proprietor whispered to the hat buyer -- I overheard the words -- ` Large Eastern factory ' -- and together they began to look at my samples . The new buyer went to the shelves and got out some of the goods which had come from my house to compare with my samples , -- which were just the same quality .
