ANY ONE WITH BRAINS

enough to have a headache, can figure out why the Franklin car makes the best conveyance and the most impressive piece of furniture he can keep. If brains were the only credential, our job would be soft, but over three thousand iron dough boys must “come along.” When you see a man, or his family in a Franklin you know he IS somebody in particular. You know he knows how to make money and how to spend it. Men used to big business, like H. R. Kurrie, president of our railroad, know what they are getting for every dollar expended. When a man with Mr. Kurrie’s experience says there is no car comparable to the fSranklin, and backs it up by buying one, doesn’t that mean something? I’ll say, you’ll say it does. THOMPSON & KIRK. The rest of this is for Joe Hammond’s special benefit. Joe says I’m afraid to write another verse to “Little Girl.” Just to prove I’m not afraid to face-powder—Little, girl with brows trimmed cute, with scented bath and powdered snoot. We (meaning Joe and me) would risk it for a frolic, but lip-sticks give me painter’s colic. Now Joe, will you pull in your neck.
