A clerk in a shoe shop tells the owner that she is getting a good many complaints about a model of shoe that the store has recently begun to sell.
"I think we ought to sell out just as fast as we can," says the clerk. "We could advertise the shoes as a wonderful bargain and lower the price just a bit."
"No, no," says the owner. "I won't make any false representations. I've never done that and I won't start now."
She thinks for a minute. "No," she says, "I just won't do it. It is an inferior grade of shoe, and I will never pass it off as anything better. So do this: Put it in the window and mark it 'A Shoe Fit for a Queen.' A queen doesn't have to do much walking."
