GENERAL INFORMATION. Baston made a sale of 1,000 figurines of a purebred dachshund to a dog food firm. A Sebastian salesman persuaded him that he could sell more than 1,000 through his stores. Baston issued a painted and bronzed version to his stores and "I doubt if we sold 250 in all those years."
