That's part of the problem, the handshake way of doing business. That's what this ol western town was founded on, and many still do business that way. As well, that's the way we've often conducted business, too. Guess that doesn't work so well in this real world we live in, does it? I suppose a person needs to put things in writing anymore to protect themselves and the other parties involved.
