A Strong Recommendation.
A pedlar wishing to recommend his razors to the gaping crowd, thus addressed them: “Gentlemen, the razors I hold in my hand, were made in a cave by the light of a diamond in the province of Andalusia in Spain. They cut as quick as thought, and are as bright as the morning star. A word or two more, and I am certain you will buy them. Lay them under your pillow at night, and you will find yourself clean shaved in the morning.”
