 New York was always noisy New York has always been noisy town. It not the machine that made it so MT Average Citizen of the 18th Century wrote unnecessary rackes in the street, as inspection of newspaper files demonstrated to research workers of the Federal Writers Project in New York City.

 Buy my lily-whte corn
 And let me go homel"
