Jakey has no more right to order you when to ask for a transfer than he has a right to order you how to ask for it, and just what language to use in doing so. _ But Jakey makes the rule just the same, and every day on every line in the city some passengers are gouged for extra nickels because they forgot to ask for onaeth at the proper moment or because the overworked conductors didn’t hear It’s a safe bet that Jake Furth can’t look one man, woman or child of Seattle in the eye and say that that person has not been buncoed out of an extra nickel by is rule or some similar one. JAKE FURTH GOT THEIR EXTRA NICKELS, AND HE WILL KEEP’ON GETTING THEM JUST SO LONG AS SEATTLE STANDS FOR JAKE FURTH.
