I have a hat that cost a pile--hat prices high have soared--and I take off that treasured tile, and bow to Henry Ford. Like many patriotic gents, the people's cause I'd aid, un- less 'twould cost me fifteen cents-- and then I am afraid. I'd gladly make the welkin ring demanding prices fair; wind doesn't cost me anything, and I have lot# to spare. But when it comes to selling rhymes at any pre-war rates, why, I have use for all my dimes, like all the other skates. But Henry took a nobler view, and he had higher plans; he said, "I'll cut the price in two, on my nice tin sedans. What though it means a mighty loss? My spirit won't be grieved; the cause is good and coin is dross when good may be achieved." So he indulged in slashing jags, cut prices many beans; and poor folks brought their shop- ping bags and bought his limousines. And other plutes beheld the sign, and their price schedules smashed, and merchant princes fell in Hne, and slashed, and slashed, and = slashed. And while we still have breath and life we must not this forget---'twas Henry took the pruning knife and an example set. ~~WALT MASON, ER] .
