An unnamed man stops in the town of Clayworth, Ohio on his way to Cincinnati for a beer. The town is not known for much else besides match factories, and the bartender of an empty establishment confirms this to him. While he’s there, four meek middle-aged men enter the bar, quietly sit down, and order food. When they light all four of their cigars with one match, the bartender explodes at them and criticizes them for their conservative match use in a town that relies on match sales. He speaks rudely to them and the observing man has half a mind to rip into him, but before he can the spokesperson of the four men decides they should have a drink. They order four beers from the nasty bartender, and then the spokesperson shoots his beer, letting the glass explode over the bar. The bartender starts to get up in arms, but the man stops him and says they’re not the right people to mess with. They’ll replace the glasses because they are actually four glass-blowers.
