In retrospection the Record Roundel
called back few years and saw q
familiar Marion figure on the road u
see his best girl. He wore a brown
suit of clothes that was dandy, shoes
that were paten! leather, white shirt
that was as stiff as board, and that
tall stove pipe hat would have put beau
Brummel to the bad. He was a
corker, tall and straight as an indian
he walked stiff legged and was as polite
TO the ladies as basket ofchips, One
Of his lady friends called him "that
proud rascal" and he has gone by the
name Of proud rascal ever since.
Do you recognize the picture?
