 in their daily walks of life are fairly honest, but 

 who, when it comes to a trade in dogs are apt 

 to lose that fine sense of justice that should

 Shakespeare: "To thine own self be true. 

 Thou canst not then be false to any man." Yea,

 to sell, stating exactly what you want, and the 

 price you desire to pay, agreeing to send a check 

 just as soon as dogs prove satisfactory, assum-

 dealers and breeders are looking for just such 

 customers.
