They come in chocolate and vanilla Havors. Is your bladder weak? Are your kidneys inactive? Are you pale at the gills?

And now soaks, I guess you're a bit tired and dry. All right, we'll stop here at Schneider and Schuerger's Beer Garden. Anyone who cares to absorb some of the foamy amber lager may alight, those who don't care to partake, may remain on the bus. Folks, these proprietors have a tale they usually relate to tourists, just as a matter of interest, that, strange as it may seem, sometime way back in the Colonial days or maybe the Dark Ages, there ac- tually was a period called Prohibition or something, when a person could not lawfully purchase the good old brew. Amazing, isn't it? At the table next to the bar over there, sits Fred Schultz, president of the Postal Telegraph Com- pany. Nightly he may be seen in this glamorous beer garden, lapping up the limpid liquid, accompanied by his wife or somebody's wife as a drinking partner. Let us take up our journey.

As we journey on, to the right we have Matzen's Flower Shop, home of the peaceful pansy. He advocates that if more larkspurs were sold, the world would be a better place in which to live. Across the street we see the Doughnutte Shoppe operated by Pessin and Eisele, a great combination for any safecracker. Pessin, a true philosopher, believes that if all the holes in doughnuts were placed end to end, they would form a line twice the circumference of the world. Veronica doubts that, and says that the holes in all the doughnuts in the world still equals nothing, and one who talks about nothing-??'? As we proceed east on Forsythe, to the right, We see the palatial mansion of Francis Hewitt, Jr., big race-horse magnet. He attributes his success to Wheaties, which he feeds his horses daily. His prize horse, J. Wellington Wimpy, wins the Hamburg Stakes every year, by an appetite. C Again to your left, ladies and gentlemen, a would-be famous surgeon, Dr. Gustav Pollock.

Right next door is the residence of one Clyde Redinger, prominent and popular head of the Nurses' Union. His motto is, Contentment at all times is the key to happiness. Proceeding south on Kingshighway, we view on our left the Evans Weather Stripping Company. He specializes in stripping. Give him a trial. Do you need your gears stripped?

1933 P1iLbC'12IPTO On the left we see the Grumbell Bean Co. The rapid popularity of these beans was due to the great discovery by Meyer Weintraub, chief bean tester for the Grumbell Co.

On the right, the Wuller Bowling and Billiard Parlor. Alphonse is a great exponent of the ancient game, originated on the Boston Green. He maintains, It's a dead egg, that gathers no pins. As we turn to the right and proceed east on Washington Boulevard, to the right is the home of Harry Stone, Blackface Comedian, recently of Flo Zieg- berg's Dandies. Most celebrities endorse Flux, but to be different, Harry endorses Lifebuoy Soap. Acrosslthe street are the offices and laboratory of Walter Brueggemann, chief pencil chemist for the Scovaltine Company, makers of that famous swiss food drink. Tired druggists endorse it. The five-story building just ahead is the home of the Hutcheson and Cross- man House Furnishings Company. Is your wife discontented with her sur- roundings? If so, bring her to Hutcheson and Crossman's Furniture Company. Their motto is, You get the chicken, Weill feather the nest. And as we turn south on Twelfth Boulevard, we see the Swanky Paris Gown Shop of August Heidker's. He designs what the well dressed mannequin will wear. His exquisite tastes and smart styles are the talk of the town. He modestly attributes his success to his womanly intuition. On the second floor of the Aba Dabba Building is the office of that promi- nent law Firm, Rosenhauer 81 Smith, a couple of shyster lawyers.

Postmaster Flom has been head of this rapidly expanding Government unit for 10 years. Mr. Flom started in as a mere mail man when a very young boy. He relates that when delivering he would say, Lady, here's your mail. Because he was so good at remembering addresses and telephone numbers, he rose rapidly to the highest position in that department. And lastly, folks, the City Hall, thriving nucleus of the grafter. Leroy Schaufler, Mayor of our illustrious city, keeps on the job constantly, he took only 15 vacations last year. The head of the Nlarriage License and Births Recorded Bureau, Clarence Wohlwend, has been working daily for the past twenty years. According to his yearly reports, there have been more births recorded than marriage licenses issued, maybe twins are the coming thing. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here we are back at our starting place, and so the parting of the ways. Adios-and thanks for listening, I'll be seein' yuh. Page One Hundred Fwe
