"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

Bunny, like many
children, was always ready for this.
"No, it isn't time for lunch," laughed Mrs. Brown. "But I want you to
bring some things from the store so Mary can get lunch ready. And this
is a chance for you to help your friend Mrs. Golden."
"What do you mean--help her?" asked Bunny. "Is daddy going to give her
some money out of his bank so she can pay the cross man?"
"I don't know about that," replied Mrs. Brown. "But I mean you can help
her now by getting some groceries from her. The more we buy and the
more other families buy, the more money she will make, and then she can
pay her bills."
"That's so!" exclaimed Bunny. "I'm going to ask all the fellows to buy
their things of Mrs. Golden instead of going to Gordon's."
"And I'll ask the girls!" exclaimed Sue.
"We mustn't desert Mr. Gordon altogether," said Mrs. Brown. "He wants to
do business, too. But Mrs. Golden needs our trade most, I guess, so get
these things of her. I've written them down on a paper so you'll not
forget, and as there are a number of them you had better take a basket,
Bunny.
