I said made sense or not. lie ho: , 1 know a swell dog veterinarian in Delta. She doesen't have a lic-" lic-" ense to practice, but she certainly nf? j knows how to take care of a sick 1' ! dog with a cold. "e j Her method. 1 P ' i Always have a box of Kleenex on i hand. If that doesn't work, give the i'j1 dog some nose drops. That's all you need at least I think she got rid of her dog's cold . . .

They are both residents of Denver, Den-ver, Colorado and have formed the Nuway Metal Refmishing Company, Com-pany, specializing m polishing the brass on large buildings in Denver and vicinity. Both of the 30-year-old vets say they learned plenty about the art of polishing "brass" in the service and they might as well put their knowledge to work. Less than two months old, the new company has more business than it can handle. In fact, the two men have hired a helper. And the future looks very promising. They invested their money in the business with doubts that they could make it succeed, but it seems to be something the owners of large buildings in Denver have been looking for. Business is so good that one of the men, who is a bartender, plans to quite his part-time bartending job and concentrate on "brass" polishing.. polish-ing.. The men sign a contract to polish pol-ish all the metal in a building at regular intervals. That means that in the case of a big hotel job and they have several they apply spit and elbow grease to the brass plates in front, the handles of the doors and elevators and even spittoons. spit-toons. "IF it's brass, we polish it," is the slogan of their firm. And anytime the two vets see an officer walk through the lobby well, they just polish harder. The spittoons, that is . . . Here are a few items (funnies) I happened to run across in Future magazine, A J. C. C. publication: You'll live longer if you don't smoke, swear, gamble, drink or dance. At least it will seem longer. "I would like to buy a brassiere." "What bust?" "Nothing bust. It just wore out." I'm going to change this one a little to read like this: "We'll have to rehearse that," said L. N. Nickle, as the coffin fell out of the car. The plumber's face flushed, but being a good plumber there was no noise. Special confidential release regarding re-garding the labor shortage: cemeteries cem-eteries are now operating on a skeleton force. When kids act like their fathers it's juvenile delinquency. . . . Here's three ways to end a conversation: con-versation: Ask the lady on your right if she's married. Should she say "yes," ask her if she has any children. If she says "no," ask her how she does it. Ask the lady on your left if she's married. If she says "no," ask her if she has any children. Ask the lady across from you if she has any children. If she says "yes," ask her if she's married. |
