Bob and Janice, co-owners of the Country Department Store, are determined to catch the thief
who’s sneaking in to steal appliances every night. Yes, they do capture him. Y he’s from
the past, in fact he’s a ferra (cousins of the jinni). No, I’m not going to tell you why
he’s after all those generators, refrigerators, and air conditioners.
By the way, I’d
love to know more about the story behind the two different versions of the Emsh cover. One
has the old F&SF logo, last used on the Sep 1952 issue; the other has the new logo
from Oct 1952 forward. Does anyone know the story behind this?
