WHEELS (But Not in the Head) Wealth is so fleeting it requires an automobile to catch it. Your feet will never keep you up to the pace. Christmas will be merry, indeed, if you treat yourself to a car. It’s easy, after talking to us. If you travel on wheels You’ll make big deals •* And reap to the fullest life’s joys; But continue to walk And do nothing but talk, And you’ll never make much of a noise.
