...Newark, N. J., a little man named Gustave Zobel, 70, stood in an artificial beard and a preposterous red coat, on a street corner, ringing a small bell. By performing this simple act for a certain number of hours every day he earned enough money for food and bed. Why it should give joy to anyone to see him standing in the cold wind tinkling a dinner clapper was more than Mr. Zobel could determine, but since The Volunteers of America were ready to pay for such mummery, it was not his part to find fault.
