Arnold the Huckster

While living on the farm in Nova Scotia - probably during the summer of 1946 - Arnold hitched up the horse and wagon and took me with him to the general store in Westchester.  There he picked up supplies, among which was what looked to me like some licorice bar candy.  On the way back to the farm I pestered him repeatedly for a bite of that candy and, after we reached the farm, he finally relented and let me have a bite. Chew....!!  It was the most foul tasing cud I could imagine.  It turned out to be a bite of the chewing tobacco he had bought for Grandpa.  Arnold laughed so hard he almost fell off the wagon!!
