BUSINESS AS USUAL......( part 3) The Muffin Man's Secret

 




                                                         PART 3......BUSINESS AS USUAL






Ed was staring at the photo what seemed forever, he was lost in another time. Finally, he looked up and said............



"The girlfriend was a famous opera singer, Molly Tearsheet, the man was Freddy Marsh of Boston department store fame, they had stumbled upon something good and they knew it. Well, a couple of weeks later, Freddy show up accompanied by a fancy, high priced lawyer from Boston. 



"Look kid,' Freddy said, "I think you got something special here and I can use it. Filenes has been a thorn in my side long enough. I need a gimmick and it's right here. We will put an exclusive on these muffins and set up a bakery in every one of my stores. People may come in for muffins but they will leave with some of my merchandise. But it's gotta be ours and it's important that the recipe be top secret! For you that means no more baking muffins! Don't worry we will make it worth your while, there's Big Bucks here for everybody." 

The lawyer handed Jimmy the contract, "Just sign it and we'll be in business" said Freddy. Jimmy looked at the contract, thought of his mom and dad and signed it. .....But what about the fine print ?
