TOMMY MACK

SPRINGS A NEW ONE

--------------------

HE NOW SELLS HORSES BY THE

POUND

--------------------

AT 5 CENTS A POUND HE GOT

$36 FOR AN ANIMAL

WORTH  $1.50

--------------------

     Tommy McNamara, the versatile

comedian of Chelsea, sprang a new one

at the Plymouth fair last week.

     He had a horse that was worth about

$1.50 to a man who wanted a horse bad

and didn't care much about money.

     He struck an easy mark.

     The fellow asked Tommy how much

 he would take for the animal.

     "I'll take 5 cents a pound for him,''

he replied.

     "All right," said the other, "he's

mine."

     "Give me $2 to bind the bargain"

said Tommy and the agreement was

soon cinched

     When they come to figure up the 

weight the fellow had to pay just

$36.85 for the animal.

     It was certainly a new way of dis-

posing of horses.
