NE COURSE, L went to see trascati
~ to-day and had pretty good inter-
view with him.
while I think Of it, l must write 70
DAD and tell him of that halr-restorer
st,n, saw in a downtown drug store
window.
Just as L turned off broadway, no
xiced n crowd gathered round the win
dow and of course ! wondered WHAT
ell about. Everybody else felt ike
me! fer It took few minutes to get my
optics trained on the window.
This is what / saw: A long plank or
wood, all nicely planed. lay on the DOT
tom of the window. ON one ,end OF the
plank a bottle of "Howard's Hair Help
err had been tipped over. There was
the bottle lying on its back and the mar
helper had run all over one end OF the
plank.
Now get this: Wherever the hail
helper had touched the plank it had
crown whiskers. Sure thing, there was
hair all over the plank, and for min
ute 1t got my goat.
Then / noticed that lot of hair had
been glued on the plank and then cut
short. Above the plank was sign read
ing:
HOwARD'S HAIR HELPER
II not guaranteed TO grow hair on wood
but It will remove dandruff. cleanse
the scalp and promote growth.
s1.25 a Large Bottle
Twas telling Bruno Duke and trahels
about 1t after the salesmanship class
Duke said 1t was an old STUNT, but tha'
cd stunes were new ones when they
were old enough to be forgotten.
In It sure was q bit of luck for me &c
think of Trascati just now, for when
rot there this morning, he told me that
his club--a social or help your sicl
friend IL he's a wop-I mean an Italian
club Il nearly forgot what &c. c. told
mo about calling foreigners by "sneery'
names) were looking for lot of lane
to build some summer camps and bi
Of a clubhouse on.
He asked me whether we gave
warranty deed or a quit-claim deed. J
| didn't know, but 1 thought warranted
<0eed was best, so / said 80.
He shook his head most emphaticaily
and said, mo, no, no. we never buy
| anything but quit-claim."
~Oh, we'll" / said. 81 can fix that al
| Sight-thats a simple thing TO do"
I'm Had he didn't ask me the diff
| ferenc, or he'd have called my blum.
| never new there were different kinds OF
| deedsIt All know is that we never give
q clea& deed till the buyer comes across
with all the coin and IL he falls down OF
his monthly payments, all the previoui
payrnents are considered as rent for the
land and he loses the whole thing.
heard Zeigler tell Holt that about 81
per cent of the people buying Leeyill'
Park lots lost their land and money be
cause they didn't come across with th'
monthly payment in time. I'm begin
ming TO dislike Lee-he's too darne'
tricky for me.
But 10 come back TO Frascati-he go
