of the genuine kind of laughter and joyous joyousness ne s than the typical traveling man and the afie best of it is he charge the regular doctors fee for hia treatment but you gentlemen not only scatter good cheer alfed r you benefit communities by providing them with comforts and commodities which they might not have enjoyed for years but for scientific salesmanship how many lightning rods
