Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 117, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 May 1919 — “PEP” [ARTICLE]

“PEP”

The biggest little word in this slang-eaten English language. The best expression for life, snap, youth, pleasure or action. Believe me, to be gifted with “pep is a place in the sun. It’s a first class ticket, good the world over. Everybody likes “pep’. "Pep” makes the world go round. All thoroughbred have ijt; some humans are blessed with it; some machinery develop it. Dids’t ever feed gas to a Hudson? That air-splitin’, dust-kicken’, roadhungry Hudson? She’s plumb full of “pep.” ___ Yet, she’ll throttle down to the slowest pace, run smooth as a pool and silent as the foot of time. She’s got more than you need in either direction. First to a fire, last to a funeral. That’s me all over. I am ready to demonstrate this wonderful car. HUGH KIRK.
