110 LIFE OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
" I dressed plain, " he says, " and was seen at no places of idle diversion. I never went out a fishing or shooting; a book, indeed, sometimes debauched me from my work, but that was seldom, was private, and gave no scandal ; and, to show that I was not above my business, I sometimes brought home the paper I purchased at the stores, t...hrough the streets, on a wheelbarrow. Thus, being esteemed an industrious, thriving young man, and paying duly for what I bought, the merchants who imported stationery solicited my custom; others proposed supplying me with books, and I went on prosperously. In the meantime, Keimer s credit and busi ness declining daily, he was at last forced to sell his printing- house to satisfy his creditors. He went to Barbadoes, and there lived some years, in very poor circumstances. " Keimer s apprentice, David Harry, bought his materials, and set up business.
