A Comic Encounter in the Wholesale Department - 20th Century This delightful comic postcard captures the essence of a classic bargain hunt in a bustling British wholesale store. The scene unfolds in the depths of the department, where a young and attractive woman, dressed in her Sunday best, is engaged in a lively conversation with a haughty middle-aged assistant. Both are standing in front of an eye-catching red sofa, its pretty curves and inviting cushions a stark contrast to the tense negotiation taking place. The woman, with a determined look in her eyes, is hoping for a cash discount on her purchase. She leans forward, her fingers drumming on the counter, as she makes her case. The assistant, with a smirk playing on his lips, responds with a double entendre, "I'm afraid I can't give you a discount on the price, madam, but I'd be happy to give you a discount on the weight!" The woman, taken aback by the unexpected response, looks puzzled for a moment before a mischievous smile spreads across her face. She retorts, "Well, in that case, I'll take two sofas!" The assistant, taken by surprise, can only stare at her in disbelief. The exchange between them is a testament to the playful banter and verbal negotiation that often takes place in the world of buying and selling. This charming postcard, from the 20th century, is a reminder of the fun and humor that can be found in even the most ordinary shopping experiences.
