We are not of the school that declares that nothing should be purchased that can‘t be bought in Highland Park.

The later that lesson is learned, the harder the lesson will be. Further, any "tension" that such a warning might set up in a child could not comâ€" pare to the mental scar that would be caused by misâ€" treatment at the hands of some mentally twisted creature.
