The Cars Worth while

And forty thousand other things
Till all my gelt was gone, and l
Began to go in debt to buy
The gear | needed for that car.
And say, There goes the boob-he's
He's busted fat-punctured like one
OF his own bum tires" But all those
Were fooled. l have a coupla cents
In bank, and as the swift years pass
l still buy cars, and Oil, and gas.
Fan belts. and pumps and piston rings,
And all the endless little things
You need to run car. I'll say,
Go buy car, for it will pay
And keep you hustling-on your toes
And though your friends may point
You'll fnd at last the cars worth

The Rockland city government
complied with a popular North End
demand when it voted to extend the
limit of the proposed white Way"

materials for the new service it has
