Show from the diary of a faithful contributor by GUESS WHO dear Razz berry some time ago you wrote and published in the reaper a well written article about my old betsy and my new plymouth I 1 say this was a well weil written article because so many a people who claimed to have read it actually think I 1 wrote it myself but any way most of the other papers in the district copied the article and all of you gave it wide publicity especially that part that said in big letters widows beware so many people have asked me how I 1 came to turn betsy out and what had become of her and why they never saw jim ramsay bouncing around with her any more that I 1 felt called on to tell the public the truth of the matter 1 it is true that betsy has been retired she is over in the green I 1 pastures of monroe bringing 1 pleasure thrills and jolts to my rapidly increasing bunch of nephews and nieces over there and I 1 hope betsy is enjoying her declining in years under those circumstances s it is also true that she got to the point that whenever she approached a hill she would promptly begin to wheeze and something would get radically wron wrong with her innards three times this summer she made me walk to town it is not true rue that I 1 I 1 abandoned her neither is it true what joe buys said about her I 1 heard joe tell paul packard that the reason I 1 got rid of betsy was because she started to talk this is a gross libel and a dell de berat liberat e misrepresentation betsy is not a common gossip I 1 am not sure about joe in your article you brag about jess madsen kidding me into buying this plymouth well if jess thinks ho he made a bargain when he sold me this car for a dollar down and a dollar a week im satisfied if he is you can draw your own conclusions about who got kidded the new machine ran all right the first couple of thousand miles but the other night the lights began to flicker and finally went out on me I 1 mind that so much except of course there is always the risk of meeting an in officer who wants to I 1 know what is the matter so I 1 thought I 1 would take it down to jess and have it looked over funny thing about that too there anything in particular wrong wron with it except alderman clarence smith found a hairpin in the transmission gearing I 1 cant see how that could cause the lights to go out but what jess told me and he kid me mc GUESS WHO |
