It is not in vain that the farmer remembers and repeats the few Latin words which he has heard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The largest business in American handled by a woman is the Money Order Department of the Pittsburgh Post-office; Mary Steel has it in charge.”

So much more business-like than business men.
Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.”
