I heard a feller say he other day one thing wrong with the country was we got too many chislers and not enough whittlers. And we got another big problem too.

He claims he was fired on account of putting too much vegetables in the vegetable soup. That will never do, and the manager done right in stop-ing this sort of thing right, at the start. If this feller had got away with it, the first thing you know somebody would be putting ham in one of them wrapped ham sandwiches we git at the country store. I'm certain the court will rule this is un-American and hold in favor of the manager. And I see where one of them finance experts allows as installment buying is ruining the country.

That feller is crazy, Mister Editor. We've had installment buying in this country ever since Sir Walter Raleigh planted the first tobacco crop. Farthermore, if history books told the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if the $24 them Dutchmen give the Indians fer Man-hatten Island wasn't just the down payment.
