[Cz-L] Hutschnecker's

http://is.gd/51u76

You are looking at the corner Armeniergasse ( running up) and Russischegasse
to the right.
  At this corner ,beneath the eagle 'was a grocery shop.
  You went down a few steps an there you were.
    Hutschnecker ,the owner ,wore a greasy old raincoat that once had been
grey.
     Now it was of a dubious color , because of the handling of herrings
,laddled out from a barrel and packed in old newspapers.
  Oily, smelly herrings.
        He also had Elka butter and Milka chocolate , pickled cucumbers ,
oil ,
candles,
   kerosene , cones of salt and sugar and brown Kandelzucker ,which came in
sticks
   and was very useful in curing whooping-cough .
    You could also buy Hamsi and halva , pepper , cigarettes and
Emmentaler cheese.
    If you had no money you could buy on credit - Hutschnecker would write
it down
    in that old note-book with oily covers on his desk.
      He was not very strict on payments. If the widow from Pizelligasse was
overdue
    in payment he woudn't press.( She had 4 orphans to feed.)
      He was never shaved and had golden teeth.
       Also a golden heart.
           Hardy
