Dear Roy:
Well, where you are I imagine
you don't have to worry much about
fixing Mrs. So-and-so's gas heater
but you probably could use one OF.
those cool refrigerators you used to
install. That is, providing it was
stocked with some nice cold, beer.
Don't feel bad. We hard-working
(?) civilians can't get enough beer
either. At least I can't.
That company that you used to
work for, reduced their gas and
electric bills some time ago in the
two local papers. Now if they'll
only reduce them on my bill every
thing win be all right.
Are you still knocking off weight?
You know, since you left, here 1t
leaves only Duane Bird and me to
use up Bracker's stock Of tent-sized
suits. incidentally, I went to
Bracker's the other day to buy a
necktie. They have a lot of new
help, of course. Some new guy
asked what I wanted.
/ seq, "'I wanta buy a handker-
chief
''How much you wanta pay?' he
asks.
'~Uh. halfa buck sez I.
%'Lissen. Heavy" he sez, that's
not enough for a big guy like you
to blow in. Why don't you blow
yourself to new suit I got just
what you need. For $4,000 I'll give
you belt in the back and a cuff
on the pants
yeah, and for two cents Ill give
you a pair Of socks,' sez I, lone in
the nose and the other in the puss.
oh, SO you don't want a suit?"
sez he. well, then how about a
tier
Say, brother, if ever got tie
in this joint it would be a photo

Well. anyhow Roy, the suit looks
GOOD on me. Yep, Sam Bracker
put the finishing touch to that
salesman's talk. Come to think OF
it never did get the handkerchief.

learning fast.
