THE COVER
- Every so often, but not so often as to become monotonous, a lad takes it into his head to earn some money. Mr. Greengrocer—or maybe a more up-to-date name would be Mr. Gangrocer—should rejoice in these signs that economic enterprise still is a heritage of American youth. Indeed, with proper encouragement from Mr. C. this lad might turn into a big operator; he might line up a string of apartment houses and favor this store with the biggest empty-bottle business in town. Well, artist George Hughes thinks that the storekeeper will not have apoplexy after all, but will paw through all those bottles and pay off. Then will the boy buy some wholesome food to take home, such as bread and potatoes and spinach, or will he buy a baseball? How’s that for a silly question?
