FIRST SALE
IN NEW YORK, THE CHRISTIANS KNEW OF A JEWISH SUPERSTITION--THAT
NO MATTER WHO CAME IN THEIR STORE, THEY HAD TO MAKE THE FIRST SALE OF
THE DAY. IF THEY TURNED THAT PERSON AWAY WITHOUT SELLING THEM
ANYTHING, THEY WOULD HAVE NO BUSINESS THE REST OF THE DAY.
AND CHRISTIANS KNOWING OF THIS, TODAY WILL STILL GO TO THE PLACE
OF BUSINESS EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN HE'S OPENING UP AND OFFER
A RIDICULOUS PRICE - AND GET IT BECAUSE OF THIS SUPERSTITION.
