"The Lemonade Seller" - Ink sketch by Jerry Collins
"The Lemonade Seller"
By Jerry Collins

(Seen in tourist areas on hot days. The Custom is that these servers (male or female) will be
based at a cafe or cart, and at a signal or call, will walk over and deliver a serving to the
customer from the chilled dispenser. The appeal to a tourist may also be the personal attention
 from an attractive server.
Sometimes there will be an assistant to help watch the cart,
 supply clean cups, & add ice to the dispenser.
Licensed by the Committee for Health;
and also may be supervised by other neighborhood committees,
in those tourist areas
where the serving style is expected to be more flirty.
