Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ventures in Common Sense When I was a little boy, living on a farm, my father returned one evening from the country town where he had been several days, and announced that he had bought the weekly paper printed there. I had no idea what a printing office was like, but soon had opportunity to find out, for the next morning I was taken to town, and turned over to the foreman, who was told to make a printer of me. The man who taught me the trade was an old-fashioned printer named Martin, who had a bed in the office, and who wrote stories for the New York Mercury played the guitar, sang ballads, and took part in amateur theatricals. My brother Jim worked with me, and we worshipped Mr. Martin. He gave us little suppers in the office at night, when we had rare things to eat we had heard of, but never hoped to taste; including cove oysters with little round crackers, instead of the big square kind. At the conclusion of these suppers, Mr. Martin told us stories. Usually we became so sleepy that he was compelled to drag us into his bed, and spend the night himself on a pallet on the floor.
