ing back in America again from
France, but it is John J’s brother
James Pershing. James Pershing ’«
a traveling salesman for a clothing
firm. He is almost a dead image of
his fame us brother and is sometimes
mistaken for him. It is unnecessary
to say that James Pershing finds it
quite easy now-a-days to sell a bill of
goods and his firm declares that he is
some salesman. (c) Underwood &
