Small Town
A story concerns itself with a wholesaler in New York who sent a letter to the postmaster of a small mid-western town.
He asked for the name of a honest lawyer who would take a collection case against a local debtor who had refused to pay for a shipment of the wholesaler's goods. He got this reply:
"Dear Sir:
I am the postmaster of this village and received your letter.
I am also an honest lawyer and ordinarily would be pleased to accept a case against a local debtor. In this case, however, I also happen to be the person you sold those crummy goods to.
I received your demand to pay and refused to honor it. I am also the banker you sent the draft to draw on the merchant, and I sent that back with a note stating that the merchant had refused to pay. And if I were not, for the time being, substituting for the pastor of our local church, I would tell you just what I thought of your claim."

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -- Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)
