And you see, when I was young, I had crooked
teeth and weak guys, and my parents only had enough
money to take care of one. So they had my
teeth straightened out and they let my eyes go tell

start you at one hundred dollars a week a piece.
Of course, you'd be traveling salesman on the road between
here in the South.

in New York.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'll be here to look after her.

a week.
Speaker 3: Oh, ain't that wonderful? George?

Speaker 2: And well, Kingfish, there's only one thing to do. Put
the big bulbs back in the lamp and get out
of town. Now, listen to a lady and a rex
Al family druggist I've.
Speaker 3: Got such a code of my nose, I don't know
what to do. Way, ma'am. All you need to do
is use rex al nasa thricn naso thriceid.
Speaker 9: What's that? Rex Alt's marvelous new nose drops. The antibiotic
no that give you two way relief, which two ways? Well,
naser thrycen quickly reduces nasal congestion, opens up a stuffy nose,
so to speak, and because it contains antibiotic tyro thriycin,
it also inhibits many of the bacteria that contribute to
the discomfort.
Speaker 3: Of a head cold.
Speaker 9: Believe me, that adds up to a wonderful two way relief.
Speaker 10: Then give me that name again, quick.
Speaker 9: Naser thycin, rex Al's antibiotic nose drops. Ask for it
at rex al drug stares everywhere, and remember you can
depend on any drug product that bears the name Rexol.
Speaker 2: Well, Anny, just being a traveling salesman away from home
in bed is at a sirking face. And this Charlotte,
North Carolina, here, this is really a nice town.
Speaker 1: A funny thing.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: We've been on the road of tenders and I ain't
hit nothing from Sapphire.
Speaker 1: Usually one eyes away. I guess two or three nasts
to let us from the old girl.
Speaker 2: You know, I was just thinking Kingfish, you know, Sapphire
up there in New York and that Theodore Thomas there.
You don't think there's any uh handshaking going on on
the back porch, do you know? And all that stuff
was before we was married. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Once you got there, boy, well, drop by the news
stand in the labrary the hotel here and picked up
a couple of Lennox Avenue newspaper. I'm gonna keep up
with what's going on back in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a good idea.

here the the peisters had another big party for the
four hundred. Just think any mister de Peyster was nothing
until he got that garbage collecting contract from the city.
