The Indians are xioned, usually short ally dressed in light They dress like you or Indian dress as suppose shops they have mer chandise from India, China, Siam and most of the other countries of Asia When you first walk in, a very strong scent comes to your nostrils. It isn’t the scent of new clothing, but that of camphor wood. Found mostly in Asia, this is a very hard wood, good for chests and wardrobes because moths will not live in or around it because of its odor. The center of the store is filled with furniture and chests made of camphor wood. They are beautifully hand carved by skilled hands. There are counters around the side walls and the back wall. The jewelry you see is mostly Siamese Siamese jewelry is of sterling sil ver, engraved by hand with sharp instruments. The shopkeepers. also sell per fume, which they claim to sell at no profit, but rather for the bene fit of their customers.

I start for the door. Then like a flash, I see something in front of) me. It is the little storekeeper. “But surely we can do busine he says. So I walk back and look it over: I decide it isn’t even worth $2.50. I tell him I'll give him $2.00, no more. Before I finish speaking, he says, “Take it! Sold! I'm losing on the deal, but so what!
