Queer trade. Lemon peels sold by a master juicer
A Chicago man earns money by expertly peeling lemons for ready use in drinks. In West Side saloons he strips the bitter peel with a swift knife, leaving only the inner white layer, a trick that excites spectators and boosts his morning trade as he visits dawn saloons. The process, once adopted, helps many bartenders avoid bitter flavors in mixed drinks. The man, small and unassuming, moves quickly from patron to patron, building a growing monopoly as his skill spreads through the dawn town.
