Opportunity Comes For Old Timmie In Cheap Suits
Old Timmie meets Opportunity on a street morning and discovers a world of debt, thrift, and temptations as a slaughter sale offers bargains on suspenders, collars, hose, and entire suits at rock bottom prices, tempting him to change his shabby lot for a fresh wardrobe and a chance to provide for his family.

Old Timmie hesitates at the store as suits and outfits tempt him with bundles of savings. He sketches a grand vision of a lavish transformation but leaves empty handed after doors padlock the window. He buys a hat, suspenders, shoes, a Johnnie suit, and a dress pattern for Mrs Old Timmie. Her quip about three cents a yard sparks a final line: better to be born stucky than rich.
