OH, YOU LUXURY TAX

The new Luxury War Tax went
into effect the first of the month and
believe me boys it is some nice little
OF tax. Even a fellows "dope,"
which one could buy for a nickel, is
now six cents, and if one was ever
so extravagant as to drink ten cent
drinks it now costs him twelve cents
and on up the higher the priced the
drink. A per centage is also added
to certain priced wearing apparel
especially fine clothing for ladies.
Don't think the merchants are try
ing to ''put one over on you" when
the Luxury Tax is added.
