Who is the most streamlined
man in Big Horn county, Fred
Sharp of Lodge Grass or Bill
Towns of Hardin. I think Bill
is, because his chest has slipped
a little.
You know last week I said I
betcha' the Farmers don't get
lites this year. Well the day
after I said it in the paper Carl
Sloan wanted to bet me $3.50
bucks and 80 cents that they
would have lites this year. Well,
you know, I didn't know what
to do, but believe him, be-
cause he said put up or shut
up. I shut up, and now I bet
cha the farmers have lites this
year. You know Carl should
know, and I was only foolin'.
Did you see the ad Ira Smith
(Chief of Cops) had in last
weeks paper? He said every dog
had to have a license. You
know, he came in the store and
looked me over an acted like
he was gonna say sOmethin',
but there were a lot of people
around an he walked out. You
know when I read that dog ad,
I knew then what he wanted to
tell me. So the next day I got
a haircut.
Last week a bunch of Hardin
guys went to Lodge Grass to
eat. We all had to pick a pard-
ner to eat with an buy their
lunch. The hell of it was all
of the pardners were men. Any
way I saw Bob Miller and I
headed over to take him to
lunch, but that darned ole
Holus showed me to one side
and took him himself. Il know
he just wants to get his adver-
tisin' business until after cleo
tion.) You know on account of
him an me runnin for the same
job I wanted to get near him
so that we could frame up a few
things, but anyway I think I
got myself a lot better pard-
ner, because I got Mr.. Gardner
an he tole me that he was
comm to Hardin an buy a nice
lookin' livin' room set. He said
he was gitin' this as a surprise
for his wife an darter, an for
me not to tell no one, so I
amt gonna say l word until he
gifts it for them. Boy oh Boy,
he made me feel good. This way
I will make a little an he will
have some new furniture.
We have a Harley Davidson
MOtercikel juust like new only it
has been used for a couple of
years. We want S145.O0 for it,
but for cash We will take a lot
less. Here is just the rite thing
if you wanta' commit sOOaSide.
It's a sure killer.
Now for a little advertisin'.
For sale, l lectric mangel
(somethin' like an ironer) Cry
bar make, all white, with a
little gray on it; only IS bucks.
Little less for cash. We are
sellin' the Philco ice boxes.
Most people in society call 'em
refrigerators. You know this is
a real outfit. If you git one of
these you never have to fix
'em for five years. We will take
your old boxes for little or moth
in, and the payments will be
easy if your credit is good. You
can have up to 3 years to pay
for one if you have a job. If
you haven't, you gotta pay cash.
We have another 4O-acre
piece of land for lease to the
right man. This land is the
best raisin' land around the 2
1eggins bridge. 1t will sure raise
nice oats or barley. You know if
you raise oats or barley you can
trade it to me for some furn-
iture. That way I might get a
chance to break even. This
place amt got a house or barn
on it, so if you need one, you
will know there amt none.
The toughest guy to deal
with is that young Pete Pitsch.
He will take your eye teeth If
you give 'em to him.
On account of not havin' any
more space I am gonna shut
up. Don't forget we still have
furniture even if everybody
does buy.
