Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store… She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries… She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food. John Long house, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once. Visualizing the family needs, she said: ‘Please, sir!
