Four Beers

I don't know whether or not I can get this one over on paper, because it is a sign story, but I have found it screamingly funny. It was in a small sawmill town where all the boys work around the mill and few of them have a full set of fingers.

Four of the mill hands walked into a saloon, ranged up to the bar, and the leader who had invited them in, held

Wheeler Osgood Adds New Folder To Dealer Helps

A new folder has been added to the complete line of literature featuring the various types of WOCO and LAMINEX Doors. Available to dealers in reasonable quantities the 138 Line Garage Door folder describes this new product and provides sales information.

Because the lft-inch garage door is such a marked departure from the old conventional l%-inch garage door, the folder treats fully with the construction improvements. The unbiased testing of strength of the lighter weight door by a recognized authority is also explained.

Chickens and Shirts and Depressions

U. S. Congressman McGroarty, of California, tells the follorving story explaining the reason for our present business situation.

Ife says there was a farmer who raises chickens. He used to take two chickens to town in the old days, and trade them for two shirts. Then the farmer rvould have two shirts to wear, and the man in town two chickens to eat.

Along came a fellow and told the farmer that if he would raise fewer chickens he would get a lot more for those he did raise. And the farmer followed his advice.

And the same adviser went to the man in torvn and told him that if he would work fewer hours he rvould get more pay, and his goods would bring more. So he accepted the advice also.

The next time the farmer needed a couple of shirts, he took o,ne chicken to town. But the town man would only give him one shirt for one chicken, because he had cut down production, also.

SO NOW THE MAN IN TOWN HAS ONE CHICKEN TO EAT WHERE HE USED TO HAVE TWO. THE FARMER HAS ONE SHIRT TO WEAR IN PLACE OF TWO, AND WE HAVE A DEPRESSION ON OUR HANDS BECAUSE EVERYONE DID THE SAME THING.
