40. The store carried quite a bit of stuff-sugar, flour, dried fruits, canned goods and such on one side. On the other side of the yard, they carried goods, coats, caps, aprons and the like of that on the other. It wasn't a big store like Hirsch Brothers Store up the street. Never would be, people guessed, that it would have gone out of business long ago if Mr. Baumer hadn't let it.

Just the sound of the name brought Slade to my eye. I could vision him slouched in front of the bar, and I saw him and his string of horses coming down the road. I could see Slade's whip lifting hair from a horse because it would sting so badly. I had heard people say that Slade could make a horse scream with that whip.
