Her lips We're ripe as cherries
And warm as the summer sun.
We-the pink envelope
And me-are now
Nesting snugly
In her BOSOM
We can hear
Her heart throb.
When it goes
The fastest
She takes us out,
And kisses me.
Oh, say!
This is great!
I'm glad I'm
A stamp,
A two-center!

THE TALE OF A STAMP


y y + \ 4 4 4 4 4 \
I'm stamp
A tWo-center-
+ postage stamp.
Don't want to brag,
But | was never
Licked,
Except once,
By a gentleman, too,
He put me on
To a good thing.
1t was an envelope.
Perfumed, pink, square.
I've been stuck on
That envelope
Ever since!
He dropped us
rne pink envelope and me
Through a slot in a dark box;
But we were rescued
By mail clerk
More's the pity.
He hit me an awful
Smash with hammer,
1t left my face
Black and blue;
Then | went on long
Journey
Of two days
And when we arrived
The pink envelope and me
We were presented
To a perfect love
Of a girl
With the stunningest pair
Of blue eyes
That ever blinked.
Say she's a dream!
Well, she mutilated
The pink envelope,
And tore one corner
OF me off
With hatpin.
Then she read what
Was inside
| The pink envelope.
| never saw a girl blush
So beautifully!
| would be stuck
On her-if | could.
Well, she placed
The writing back
In the pink envelope;
Then she kissed me
Oh, you little godlets!

II II bore no nameplate-the
Studebaker Flanders go would
be bound TO make an immediate
and an impressive appeal to
your preference.
Study it from any of the ordi-
narily accepted specification
standards - motor-measurement,
power, VIII eel ase, axle
strength, ease, style-and rival
~, in its class, recedes into the
remote background.
But you are not asked to draw a
check for $500 on the evidence
OF your own eyes; or your own
experience; or your own sense
OF value.
Seventy-fve thousand of your fell
low citizens vouch for Stude-
baker value.
And we would like you to feel
the impact of that tremendous
pressure of public opinion.
We would like you to summon
up a mental picture of that
mighty host of Studebaker cars
rendering yeoman service in
every nook and corner of the
nation.
We would like you to remember
that the satisfaction of these
$4,000 citizens has its source in
the name Studebaker.
