THE WINFIELD COURIER APRIL 21, 1881.
"Buck" is an accomplished salesman. Spotswood had a lot of bananas which were about to rot, and as it would never do to let anything spoil in a grocery store, Buck made up his mind to sell those bananas. So he grabbed a board and with a few artistic touches manufactured a sign, "Something new: West India soft string beans for seed." The ruse took, and many an enterprising stranger traveled home with a package of new beans. If any inquisitive tourist sees the end of a banana sticking up out of the ground during his travels through Cowley, let him call on Buck for an explanation.
