Defendant Rosemary Grant is an adult individual with an address at 342 Walton Street, Borough of Lemoyne, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as "Defendant"). 3. Beginning on or about November 25, 1996, and continuing on a regular basis until November 17, 1997, defendant purchased goods and merchandise (in the nature of ladies' wearing apparel) from plaintiff, with a promise to pay plaintiff for said goods. 4. During the time of defendant's purchases, plaintiff maintained books of account, keeping an accurate and running account of all debits and credits for the sale of goods and merchandise to the defendant. 5. Set forth below is a listing of goods and merchandise sold to defendant by plaintiff on the promise that defendant would pay to plaintiff the sums due and owing: A. Belts, blouses, sweaters, pants, on November 25, 1996, for a total of $840.00. See Exhibit A.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff demands judgment against defendant for $10,071.37, with costs and interest as it continues to accrue since the April 30, 2001 statement.
