Suitcase varieties_____ IMO brought into this country in a suitcase, vest
pocket, or toe of shoe. In plain English--smuggled from the old country. In
absence of correct name- tried to figure out from Condit's Monograph-- give
them
dialect names, name of giver or county/township they came from (after
arriving in Canada)
