Tom pointing to fine, large turkey
The deal ended with Tom ordering the bird sent to
his place, He had seen It weighed at Ik pounds and
got a price of thirty cents a pound Tom received the
turkey and a hill for f( 40 .
To be sure his turk weighed the full Ik pounds.
Tom took it nut sod found a pair of scales ft only

"At 10 rents the pound HI never pay |fi 40 for that
