Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 152, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1919 — A Fair Proposition. [ARTICLE]

A Fair Proposition.

“Mr. Grabcoin, I’ve saved up $3,000 and I want to marry your daughter.” “Do you realize that $3,000 won’t last long nowadays?” “Oh, yes, sir. But it ought to take care of us for at least six months and at the end of that time if I haven’t convinced you that I’m an ideal son-in-law you needn’t do a thing for us.”
