Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 71, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 March 1920 — ARE YOU RESTED? [ARTICLE]

ARE YOU RESTED?

We were informed by a big man in the community that it would do him good to have a rest from our line of gab in the newspapers. We would like to give him the rest (the rest of our mind) but we always hated an impudent witsnapper, so we hold our pen. We are immune to flattery and we fear no criticism. Nothing would do us more pleasure than to hand it back to the wise and cynical, but we make it a rule to say nothing unless we can boost. We like to boost our friends with our ads and our enemies with our toe. We can’t please everybody, but try to please our customers. We use these ads for our horn — so you’ll know where we are and how fast we’re going. Business is good and surely will be as long as we sell such a good line of cars, (meaning the Franklin, etc., etc.) Stay in, you poor worm—you 11 get picked up by some chicken. Insinuatingly. _ THOMPSON & KIRK. P. S.—We have a new -Ford Sedan for quick sale.
