Fifty Five Gents Auction Tale Ends With Weighty Bench

A late night auction scene describes buying a seven foot oak work bench with a treadle lathe for fifty five cents. The narrator and classmate Wilbur Gent laugh as a crowd gathers and loading the heavy item into a wheelbarrow proves arduous. An elderly Hamburg immigrant woman explains the bench once belonged to her father and reflects on immigrant labor. The tale ends with the narrator transporting the table to the college campus amid curious spectators.
