Soldier Jim invented the trade about three vears ago “when he was down on his luck.” “I often thought,” he sald, “when 1 saw people feeding the pigeons with bits of bread that it would be a good idea to have grain on the spot and one day I brought some packets down. They sold fast and I cleared 6 shill- ings in a few minutes.” Among Soldier Jim’s regular cus- tomers is a woman who comes once a week from Tunbridge Wells. *I have known her to bring 14 pounds of grain with her and then buy four more shill- ings’ worth from me,” he said.
