THE 1920 FAMILY BUDGET

Fir. comes the rent-32 per cent;
Your groceries are 20;
Your clothing bill is small, but still,
It's 6 per cent-that,s plenty.
Insurance 4, cigars more,
Amusements come to Z;
A tire, Is; IL, gasoline;
That's 98-Great Heaven!
1t cost you to have the flu,
And that all went for dope;
You owe the nurse, and what is worse,
The doc, too, lives in hope.
The butcher looks upon his books
And forthwith mails dun;
The drygoods man your bill doth scan,
And so on, one by one.
Your wages spent-the last red cent.
In debt. and there you are.
Man tolls and slaves but never saves;
He just MUST keep q car.
