  1. My father and I would walk past there every day. Sol would was always busy, re-arranging things, sweeping, yet he always stopped and said hello. He represented the kind of old fashioned shop keeper you find in Norman Rockwell paintings and which you seldom see today.

  2. Fine people to do business with, understood that a man's handshake was as good as any contract.
