"Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue Keeping Store"

"
"What's a hustler?" asked Bunny, wondering if Mrs. Golden might be made
into one.
"A hustler," said Uncle Tad, "is a person that does things in a hurry.
Some storekeepers are hustlers for business. If business doesn't come to
them they go after it. That's how they sell things."
"How could Mrs. Golden sell more things?" Bunny questioned. "She's got
lots of things in her store--heaps and packs of 'em--but she doesn't
sell much."
"That's the trouble!" said Uncle Tad. "She doesn't advertise, and she
doesn't make any window display."
"What's a window display?" Sue inquired.
"I saw you looking at one the other day," replied the old soldier. "Do
you remember when I passed you and Bunny while you were looking in the
drug store window on Main Street?"
"Oh, yes! Where the rubber bags were!" cried Bunny.
"A little doll was making believe swim in a rubber bag," said Sue, "and
there was a big crowd looking at it."
"That's it!" exclaimed Uncle Tad. "That drug store man got a big crowd
in front of his store by putting something in the window that made
people stop and look.
