31—Friday, Jew 16, •967 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS A necdotes About "Fools" of Helem This tale is one of many that might be cited as evidence of the business acumen for which the Helemites were famous. The story is about two of them who agreed to go into partnership and, between them, managed to find enough capital to buy a little keg of whiskey as their stock in trade. - Beret," said Sholem to his part- ner. '•I have seen many a business like ours ruined by credits. Let us sell for cash only " - For cash only.•• Beret agreed. They opened their business to the public and waited for custo- mers. But no customers came and after a while Beret felt just a little bit discouraged. "Sholem," said he to his part- ner, "I have five kopeks in my pocket. Pour me a little glass of whiskey. Its for cash, of course." Sholem poured and Beret paid and drank. lie MI and looked much better. "Beret," said Sholem to his part- ner. "I see in your eyes that we have the right stuff. Now that I have five kopeks. I think I'll have a little also. Its for cash, of course." Beret poured. Sholem paid and drank, and he too felt and looked much better. "Sholem," said Beret to his part- ner after a rather long pause. "We'll not he so foolish as to sell on credit. Pour me another little glass—for cash, of course." Berel drank and passed the five kopeks to Sholem. Then Sholem drank again and passed the five kopeks to Beret. Still there were no customers, but were the partners discour- aged" On the contrary! They were in a state of satisfaction bordering on Joy' "Another little glass for me!" said one and paid spot cash. "Another little glass for me!" said the other and paid spot cash. The day passed and the contents of the little keg as well. It was time to close up for the day. "Look. Sholem!" said Beret to his partner, hugging the keg on one side. "In one day we—we sold out our stock—all of it!" "Yes!" said Sholem, hugging the keg on the other side, "and for—for cash only!" • • • Now with regard to the school teacher of Helen' it goes without saying that he was in every re- spect a true Ilelemite. How could it be otherwise? Isn't every gen- uine school teacher, no matter where tie may live and labor, a Helemite? The one of Helem was particu- larly shrewd in matters economic and financial. "You know," said he to his wife one day, "if I were the Czar, I would be richer than the Czar." "How so?" she asked. "I would do a little teaching on the side." he explained. • • • With regard to money, the school teacher of Helem had his feet completely on the ground. "It's a topsy-turvy world," he once declared to his wife. "The rich who have plenty of money buy on credit. The poor, who haven't a copper, have to pay cash. Isn't it common sense it should be the other way: the rich to pay cash and the poor to "get credit? What's that you say? A merchant who gives credit to the poor will become a poor man him- self? Very well! What if he does? He'll he able to buy on credit, won't he?" • • • Foremost among the philosophers of Helem was a certain Lemach ben Lekish. No question was too deep for him. Take the following as mere illustrations: "Why," he was asked, "does a dog wag his tail?"

Were it the other way. the tail would wag the dog." Again he was asked why the hair on a man's head turns gray sooner than his beard. "It's because." Lemach replied. "the hair on his head is twenty years older than his beard." "And why," he was further asked. "are the waters of the seas salty?" "Don't you know?" he said. "It's because so many thousands of herring live in them."
