One day, when an old friend came into the shop and bought a sixpenny cigar, the customer noted that Sandy pocketed the money instead of putting it into the tlraAver. “Why not ring it up?” he asked. “ You’ll be forgetting it.” “ Oh, I’ll nao forget it,” replied the Avary Scot. “Ye ken I keep tract in my'head until I get ten shillings, an’ then I ring it up. It saves the AA'car and tear of the machine.”
