CHAPTER XII
"Yes, Mawruss," Abe Potash said to his partner as they stood together
and surveyed the wild disorder of their business premises, "one removal
is worser as a fire."
"Sure it is," Morris Perlmutter agreed. "A fire you can insure it, Abe,
but a removal is a risk what you got to take yourself; and you're bound
to make it a loss."
"Not if you got a little system, Mawruss," Abe went on. "The trouble
with us is, Mawruss, we ain't got no system. In less than three weeks
already we got to move into the loft on Nineteenth Street, Mawruss, and
we ain't even made up our minds about the fixtures yet."
"The fixtures!" Morris cried. "For why should we make up our minds about
the fixtures, Abe?"
"We need to have fixtures, Mawruss, ain't it?"
"What's the matter with the fixtures what we got it here, Abe?" Morris
asked.
"Them ain't fixtures what we got it here, Mawruss," Abe replied. "Junk
is what we got it here, Mawruss, not fixtures. If we was to move them
bum-looking racks and tables up to Nineteenth Street, Mawruss, it would
be like an insult to our customers.
