"I bought a camera yesterday morning for $15.00 and sold it before the end of the day for $20.00, so that is $5.00 profit in a short time. Now that money I'll use for to get Sandra's and Timmy's picture painted over here. I am getting the reputation of being a tite wad on here, but old Gerdes is looking out for Gerdes and Gerdes alone. In the first place, I never had the $15.00 to begin with so I told the fellow that I bought the camera from that he would have to wait til Monday (pay day) to get the money. But I sold it before then so now I don't have to draw so much money off the books...When I was over in town the other day, I bought a set of salt and pepper shakers and I am going to send them to Mom. I paid 100 yen for them which is about 25 cents...KEEP THE DOOR LOCKED AT NITE. As if you aren't."
