Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 162, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1915 — A Fair Exchange. [ARTICLE]

A Fair Exchange.

See the sweet and blushing bride; Contemplate her gifts with pride; 5 bowls / 8 berry spoons, 14 pickle forks. Of useless gifts she has a host; In fact a trifle more than most; And here arrive by parcel post: 6 pie knives, 9 fern dishes, 11 carving sets. Observe the wife; she seeks a store with funny forks and knives galore, She seeks to trade the outfit for: 1 wash tub, 1 frying pan, 1 clothes wringer.
