HOME TOWN TALES
By “Pioneer”
George Cardamenus, a native of Greece, opened the New York Candy Kitchen, 103 East
Ninth Street. Possessing a heavy stock of smiles and good cheer, friends and customers were
made at a rapid rate. Within George’s first year in Rochester, he was introduced into the mysteries
of Pythian Knighthood, and nothing was left undone to assure him that he had pitched his tent in a
town of golden opportunity.
On came the World’s Fair, and after a time, friends saw the first clouds of unhappiness on
George’s face. Letters received from a sweetheart he had promised to send for, had written of her
suffering, the hell of war, sickness, no food, no money, and that garlic was an impossible luxury.
At the close of the war, he immediately sent for her, and in impatient anxiousness he
awaited information as to the time he could greet her in New York.
Well - time, the ocean liner and the girl arrived. George was on the pier to greet them all.
Finally he saw her - there was disappointment, she was no longer the Grecian beauty he had left in
Athens, Xerolhart, or some other seaport in Greece. The havoc and privation of WAR were
plainly imprinted After a few days rest in New York, they were married. A few days later the
bridal party arrived in Rochester.
Six months later, one of George’s local advisors heard some one say, “Did you know
that George Cardamenus had sold his business?” Rushing to find George, to learn the truth of
the statement, he inquired of George, and received the following information. “My wife, no like
de fush, here,” muttered the citizen friend as he kicked himself all the way back to his place of
business.
“Can you beat it? Can you beat THAT? Maree didn’t like our FISH.”
