the small town folks who used to

SEE more legs and prcttier legs on
/ their own little old Main Streets
than Mr.. Xierfield could get to-
gpthcr in New York. Nobody goes
! to New York To see lc" show any
more. for the same reason that no.
body in Elizabeth City goes to Nor
folk for his liquor. any more: we
make our own hOotch and have our
own legs ShOwS--a continuous per-
