War Shorn Glamour Dampens Salon Des Artistes Reflecting War

Selling Shoes Under Difficulties in Flooded Towns
Dean R. Stover a southern salesman for a Brockton shoe concern faced floods that washed away the only bridge. He crossed in a flat bottom skiff after hiring a tank to reach a town 15 miles away where trains were scarce. He surveyed customers, delivered samples, and described the day as a bold sales effort amid high water. In Philadelphia a floating store owner kept a monkey that swims to shore to watch a baby aboard a boat beside Gloucester City near the Delaware River. The animal, from a ship anchored upriver, has shown a habit of caring for the child.

Smith fined 10 dollars and costs in each case, or 36 dollars total, after arrest and magistrate hearing. The writer claims travelers faced extortion at two blocks from the first arrest, with a second officer demanding 2 dollars per person for a roundabout route totaling 6 dollars for the party.
