    Share Share Post
    Buying goods on credit and not paying for them is called a strapping or getting them on tick.
    The Nevins buy hose hair and feathers and makin make brushes out of the horse-hair.
    They give them delph for them. They buy old horses and sell them out and make money on them. The Nevins are the best dealers on the road for making money. They also buy old asses and give tin-ware in exchange.
