at the age OF three. Men wore whis-
kers and boots, chewed tobacco, spit
on the sidewalk and cussed. La
borers worked ten hours a day and
never went on a strike. No tips were
given to walters, and the hat-check
CRATER was unknown. No one was
ever operated on for appendicitis,
microbes were unheard Of, folks liv-
ed to 4 good old age, and every year
walked miles to wish their friends
merry Christmas.
